World Trip Reports

Waxwing invasion



Hi All
Arriving here with the cold weather in the U.K. is a good number of Bohemian Waxwings, these do turn up most years in ones and two's but this last week (since 03 January) has seen a huge number spreading down the East coast and inland, they have been pushed southwards by harsh weather and the need to find food. Luckily for them the regime of planting berry bearing trees in the grounds of new retail parks provides a much needed winter larder. Have you had any at a shopping centre near you?

They can be quite approachable, so next time you visit Tesco's keep an eye on the Rowan trees in the car park, you might just find some of these stunning birds


Love the shot Nigel! They are stunning,as you say. I shall regard my next shopping trip to Tesco in a different light...........!


In-Bloody-Credible Nigel... these are the most goreous birds around and you certainly captured the essence of that beauty... they love berries and around here we have Russian Olive trees for them
