Eight Waxwings landed in a Hawthorne bush in a Lowton garden today as I looked out of the kitchen window! They stayed for a few minutes, allowing me to take a few photos. Waxwings are often found in gardens, but this is a scene I particularly like! 16th December and the washing is on the line with Waxwings in the tree behind and another bright blue sky for background! Amazingly this is the second time I have seen Waxwings in this Hawthorne bush, the first was 2 years ago and involved just a single bird. Later I had a walk to Pennington Flash and saw a very confiding Water Rail from Pengys hide, as well as two drake Goosander on the flash.
