Waxwing of Suburbia (Bombycilla garrulus)

This was a solitary Waxing in Allestree, Derby busying itself feeding on berries from a tree. I watched it for about 3 hours-now thats dedication for you. Then it took flight to the roof of a local evangelical church, then to a much taller tree and it was gone. I suspect it left the vacinity to find water.

Nice one Dean, good catch. We had a juvenile Night Heron show up in the local park here in August last year. I also watched it for 3 hours, and all it did was yawn once, disappointing, I guess we expect these birds to do all sorts of tricks?, etc, etc, etc.
