Today was quite exciting for me, first I saw a flock of |
|
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 |
|

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.. |
