Nice to see photos of large flocks of Waxwings.
I saw my first Waxwings by Middle Meadow Walk in the The Meadows in Edinburgh, on a snowy day back in the early 60s. Funny how we never forget a first sighting like that. The memory is still so vivid ... 60 years later!
Yes, I grew up in Edinburgh & regularly spent time around the Blackford Hill back in the 60s. Saw & heard my first Green Woodpecker in the Hermitage, behind the Blackfords. Do you know if Woodpeckers are still breeding in the hermitage?
Cheers,

Even better when you see them "with bins" ...AND a good lens & camera by your side.

Saw 10 Waxwings a hour ago at a retail park. Thought I'd have a look since they had been spotted not a place I would go Birding but I saw them.

Saw these in May 2005, in a tree in the common back garden area of my flat. There had been varying flock sizes (max c. 100 or so) all winter following the great influx of Nov 2004. I was really annoyed though, as I had to get up and open the back window to get a better look at them. In May they were feeding on Ivy buds.

Saw more Waxwings yesterday,third time lucky normally I'd only see them once a year.
