Approaching
the end of the year, I thought I'd try and pick out my birding highlights of
the last 12 months. There have been many this year in a list of 138 different
species seen.
In
no particular order, here we go. The year started well with an invasion of
Waxwings from Scandinavia . I was fortunate to
see some on four separate occasions from Stockport
to Macclesfield. Listen for the trill that these birds make. It’s quite
unmistakeable.
As Spring and Summer arrived so did our migrant birds, and as luck would have it so did a Wood Warbler, not far from my house in Carrs Wood, Bramhall. A fantastic bird, gave brilliant views for several weeks. A real delight, and a first for me.
My first encounter with Waxwings came in Wilmslow, where this shot was taken.
I liked this shot in black and white. These Waxwings were seen in Edgley, Stockport.
Wood Warbler again. This time getting ready to sing.
