Waxwing year ?

Thanks to Fred for giving the location of the Waxwings in Keighley today. I called up to Keighley Golf Club this afternoon, about the same number of birds that Fred saw were in evidence, feeding on Mountain Ash berries.

Interesting Gulls at Scarborough last Saturday.

Silent killer.



As I was sitting in the conservatory this silent killer landed on the drystone wall outside the window then hopped into the bush where I hang our feeders, Flushed the unfortunate green finch caught it  then settled on wall with its prey. Luckily for me I had camera at hand & managed these shots before it made off.

Redwings



These birds were seen this morning in poor weather & thickish cover.
