Forums Forums General Forums A - Z Leisure & Hobbies any birdspotters in the house???

there's some birds called 'waxwings' in the bushes/trees outside our office at st. caths but can also be seen from the car park behind the stein centre, just look in the tree with red berries on the corner of the car park by the metal fence.

for anyone who's interested

they're nice looking little birds, very photogenic.

There were about a group of 16-20 waxwings in the tree outside my house last winter. Thingwall area. They are so pretty.
Searching on the web seemed to indicate that the sightings on this side of the country would be most unusual. Winter Watch on BBC1 was speaking about them last week and because the phone rang, missed the bloomin' lot.

Never the less, very pretty to see.

Oooh i wonder if they are still in the area?

They are lovely birds, not seen any since i was on the canals down south.

I was lucky enough to walk past a flock feeding on hawthorns in Greasby village some years ago - a fine sight.

We had a blackcap a few years ago inthe middle of winter,turns out there a summer visitor.Quite strange.
