WAXWING

26-12-2016 - Crosspool, Sheffield

News of a few Waxwings on Manchester Road at Crosspool on Christmas Eve and Day was the first opportunity for me to see these delightful visitors. Incredibly on the 26th I pulled up opposite a Rowan tree, laden with yellow berries, and as I got out the the car and picked up my camera I heard the unmistakable call behind me. It was very windy but around 25 birds landed briefly in the Rowan tree with just enough time for me to fire a few shots off.
