waxwings


Couple of weeksago I had my first sightings of waxwings.  I was walking along the River Wharfe in Ilkley with Sparky; I had read that there had been waxwings spotted in Ilkley main car park. I saw a flock of about 20-30 birds fly overhead and hadn’t ever heard the calls they were making.  Grabbed my bins and there they were.  They stayed around in the trees quite a while, allowing me to take some photos – of which I was really pleased!
