Waxwings - 29th March 2013


Living in Hambrook Close, Dunstall Park, for over 25 years we have had a Rowan tree in our front garden in the hope of one day having Waxwings, but the Starlings and thrushes have always eaten the berries long before they even get close. However, imagine my surprise when I looked out of the kitchen window today and five Waxwings were perched in the bushes in the back garden feeding on rose hips instead! They flew to a neighbour's tree to perch for a few minutes before return to feed a couple of times. After about ten minutes at 12.45pm they headed off towards Dunstall Park.
