waxwings, about 20 , then a Coue's Arctic redpoll from
Scandinavia came in to my garden, its really a most beautiful
bird, it came back a few times.. here are the pix of the
redpoll..

I went out today looking for waxwings, I searched Toft [warbler
there] Brae, then Voe, then Sandgarth [warbler at Sandgarth] I
gave up and went home..
Got home and found the Waxwings were waiting for me.. I took 185
pictures and a video of one..
Here are some of the pix. two threads..

They are the most photogenic birds, and you can get very close
to them, if you don't make any sudden moves..

Hi George,
Your bird photos are fantastic. Even in our garden with mature
trees at the back we rarely see these birds. It could be because
there are so many cats in the back gardens including my two. So
keep the photos coming, they've got the feel-good factor.
Cheers,
Anne.

Thanks Anne.. I have a cat on either side of my house as well..
I had a wren and the Coue's Artic redpoll, and the usual
sparrows, blackbirds, & starlings as well..
I'll post the Siberian Chiffchaff at Toft beach tomorrow, two of
them have been hanging around that spot for three days now.. I
got its ID tonight from Mike Pennington..

This is the Siberian Chiffchaff, I first found it a few days
ago, but it [and another one] was still at the same location at
Toft, I got its ID verified last night..

I was out with the saw and cut a few branches off my sycamore
tree, I was going to make a perch for the birds..
While I was working, the sparrows and starlings were feeding at
my back..
