Gosh, that's a beaut. Are they common round your end? I've never seen one before (but then again, I'm not an experienced twitcher :drunken_smilie:)

This is only the second year when they have visited. Last year they stayed for about 2 hours and stripped the Rowans and went. This time a small number came over about 2 weeks before they finally went on their way.

How lovely.  I was only saying to OH yesterday that we need to buy some more rowans.  I would love to see Waxwings in this neck of the woods.
