Winchester Waxwings - photos
Hi all
The Winchester Waxwings showed well today, but the light was iffy and the birds were always against the sky. Here are the best two pics I managed. They really are beautiful birds. Rich |

Very nice shots, Rich. I espescially admire the first one... every bird looks crisp despite difficult conditions, you don't often see group shots of birds taken with digiscoping.
Congratulations on seeing them, let alone getting the shots. Andy

I'm hoping to see them on Saturday Rich. Excellent group shot, the dull sky only goes to highlight what beautiful birds they are.
Have you noticed how people have even started bitching at each other about them on Hoslist? Same with the Black Kite, I just wish people would appreciate the amazing birds we get in hampshire rather than having a go.

What can I say?
Thank you all for the kind comments. I would highly recommend going to see the real thing if you can. Andy – I was surprised all the birds came out this sharp too. Fantastic birds.  Rich |

Simply staggering spectacle, I bet it's better in the "real"?

I saw my first ever Waxwings in December last year, (It happened to be my birthday as well!). The are such lovely birds, I would say its a regal/snooty look, not bad tempered, Peter
A pair of stunning pictures.
