Hi all


Looked on birdguides just now a few of the above arriving on the east coast of the uk.I wonder what srt of winter we`ll have for them?:bounce::cool::D


Steve.
 
Hi had a look around Cannock chase last week thats were i have seen them last Year.Off to Donna Nook in two weeks time so i will keep a look out for them.
 
Relatively mild still here in north-eastern Europe, very few moving through as yet - small flocks, but not as yet the big flocks that usually preceeds the arrivals into Britain
 
Seems to be a few around today on the birdguides map. 22 here in Thurso and a good few reports from Orkney.
 
Can anyone tire of seeing these wacky birds?! Not me......
[saw the B.Overy Staithe one's today]
Shite they were good......hair do's blowing in a cool northeasterly wind....brilliant!!
You gotta luvem ain't you.?!
 
Couple of surprisingly large flocks in the West Highlands today 100 or so in both Arisaig and Ullapool. Quite a few small flocks in the Outer Hebs in the last couple of days.

Cheers,
Andrew
 
Two reported in Lowestoft Suffolk. my regular site has yet to produce. what with lots of Scandinavian Migrants hitting our coastline this autumn and a hard winter forecast I do expect it to be a record year.
 
Theres a lot going through southern Norway at the moment - had flocks both yesterday and today.

I took the picture below in Kristiansand a couple of weeks back during a trip at work. I'd just popped ashore to go to the shops, saw and followed a few Waxwing flocks, found them feeding and started taking pictures. However, after snapping a few record shots I realised I wasn't in the best of places - in between a public lavatory and a childrens playground probably isn't the best of places to be hanging around with a telephoto lens!
