A nice easy one to start off the new year. Taken in the UK last week.

Waxwing? Maybe?

Spot on Rafael. And boy did I feel uncomfortable taking a photo of them behind the police station:-O

I miss seeing those guys (one of my favorite species!), but I think I'd pass seeing them next to a police station :t:

Here they are zoomed in.

Only the second time I've seen them Rafael. They don't come this far West very often.

Yeah, I'm aware of how scarce they are further west. I lived in Cornwall for a few years and felt particularly lucky to be there by the end of 2012, when small flocks eventually trickled down to Falmouth On the other hand, we still have only one record in Portugal, from the 1960's, unfortunately not fully documented... :-C

Lol. As I was writing that I started feeling like I shouldn't complain :-O

Chiffchaff?

16 minutes! Thought that one was tougher. Well done Rob. It's the Siberian Chiff that's been at Parc Slip for a couple of weeks.

And great start to your year list btw. Some great birds already.
