Waxwings and Breakfast at -4 Bbrrrrrrrrrr!

At -4! I was not surprised that the lake was still frozen, to the best part. Forcing the Gulls and Wildfowl into a small area.



The Cottoneaster at the Telford Station are now getting a battering from the Redwings and the odd Fieldfare and Bullfinch, no crazy Mistle Thrush yet.


So them done I was of to the Asda area to take a few!! pot shots of the Waxwings,, go figure,! right on me doorstep brill and a clear sky with some sunshine. This little Winter Wren had the idea just sit in the warmth for a short while.

There were also the other ran's in among the berries.
Tidy Male Blackbirds, if the the local Mistle Trushes, there were 3 in the area, would let them be for a minute or two.
Redwings also suffered the same random swooping attacks,, they still got fed.

One of the culprits,,, Mr Exocet they could see it coming but do bugger all about it!!

And so to the Waxwings they performed like Little stars as and when they could get at the tree for more a ram raid on the Thrushes valuable berries, than a feed at leisure

They got into all sorts of nice poses.

And in to some odd positions

Some pleasing others not of course. As you will see.




Ha! the Redwing got one.
Still a load to sort so check back for updates as I get to them.
