You're a comical lot!!! Been to Morrison's distribution site three times this week because 120+ were spotted. I saw none. Today friends phoned to say they were there and so were waxwings. I drove slowly...yeah right...down the A14......and there were seven left! But hey ho I have seen waxwings!

[rowanwitch]

Hurrrummmph!

[excelsior-1]

waxing lyrical now?

[EcclesCake]

I'm very envious. I did see a blackcap in the garden for the first time this week though so I suppose I shouldn't grumble.

Aaaahhh!

[gness]

Always do that Chill....not a good garden yet for birds, this one.

You know I always look for the silver lining? Well the bonus for having to go again on Saturday was that I had to park next to the football ground and the guys were training........waxwings and footballers! Oh joy. x

[gness]

Aaaahhhhh indeed Shoota. Now if a man could be more like a waxwing. ;-)

the boys lift their wings and stir atop their perches

"How are you tony, excel, shoota, and dave?"

There's a communal "Chirrup" that rings out.

It must be the 5th of January, St John of Neumann's Day.
