Bohemian Waxwings

[bookscorpion]

This weekend, we went to the botanical gardens and we saw a big group of Bohemian waxwings! They are very rare guests here on their way to and from Scandinavia and I had never seen one before. I did know instantly what they were seeing them all sitting in the tree though.




look at it displaying its crest!



you can see the yellow wingtips here - sadly I didn't catch the red waxy tips that give them their name in any of the photos



they're lovely birds, I am so thrilled I got to see them
