Winter Berries

I went in search of some reported Waxwings in Warrington the other day, but they didn't show up. There were plenty of berries on the trees for them, it was mighty cold and the light perfect. Typical that they didn't want to play.
A small consolation though, were the very good numbers of Fieldfares, Mistle Thrush and Redwings. Initially a bit wary, they soon settled down to give some really very good views.

Fieldfare


A very photogenic Redwing. Shame it wasn't a Waxwing though.

    Those sneaky Waxwings, always hiding out when you want them... For the record I know nothing about waxwings.
