Waxwing

[Merlin]

Probably the worst Waxwing photograph made public and really should have been disposed of in 'the bin' but couldn't resist showing it. Seen today with eighteen others at a small village called Levens near Kendal in Cumbria. A beautiful creature (take a good look at that crest) with many hundreds over from Scandinavia to spend the winter months in the UK.

Not good enough for the 'Gallery' I'm afraid.

P.S.

I took it through my binoculars which Iv'e done before, so hows that for improvisation.

I've been watching the reports Pete, hopefully some will appear down my way.

There is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't reach you Rolf. Just keep looking at every thing that has a berry attached to it.

Think I'll subscribe to the birdguides texts.

[Merlin]

Well there's a thought Rolf, but think long and hard before making that decision, it costs money and the question you have to ask yourself is......will I get value for money from it.

I subscribe to a pager service which costs 'lots' but whether I gain any advantage from the service is questionable I can tell you. For a start I am in no way a hardened 'twitcher' and they are the ones who really pay for what they want and get.
