Waxwings

There's quite a few been spotted on the East Coast. Bridlington is the closest to me.

That's good to know, thanks.

Get your camera out

A few years ago we chased all over an area of countryside about 20 miles from us as they'd been seen there, and didn't see any. A week later we were shopping at a small retail park and saw loads of them feeding on the Rowan berries which were planted there.

Beautiful birds 🦜 (yes I know that's a parrot😉)

Have never seen a live waxwing, only photos.  Maybe a bit too far north for them - unless you know better?

There's loads in the east of Scotland, Maggie.Some have made it to the Western Isles. Google waxwings uk to find out more.

Maggiebee, more come to Scotland than anywhere else, start looking after we get strong winds from the North East as that often brings them in larger numbers.

How lovely Melv, isn't it just a joy when you see them

There were 3 times as many birders as waxwings today, according to reports, vagus.
