Wax on, Wax off, Wax on !!Flighty little buggers.

There are few days in the year when it is cold frosty and darn right not the sort of day to be standing around staring into someones front garden. when the staring instrument is a very large lens and camera!
but with the vast majority of Waxwing flocks seemingly having diminished over the preceding week it was well worth the cold.
What you looking at?


Over reaching for the best of the berries.

Always one would make the drop from the perching / digesting tree before the others would follow.

They sure remained wary at all times and would panic at nothing.


Don't you just hate a showoff!


Did not risk another double chuck.


Even leaving with the spoils in a fright.

Hope my deodorant is OK?



A gliding approach to the digestion twigs.


Air brakes after the glide in.

the sun did shine nicely later in the morning and it got nice and warm, and at times presented some harsh light from a low angle. But the colours warmed to some right cool shades as it started to drop behind the roof tops.
And now with a reported 48 at the same sight, shame the old currant Bun ain't likely to be out on the Sunday, but ever the whatever ist!
