Waxwings at Pentre Halkyn


2023/24 has been a good winter for waxwings and the most impressive flock I've managed to see has been at Pentre Halkyn where today I counted 93 birds. It's a great site for seeing them and judging by the number of hawthorn bushes which are still loaded with berries, they could well be here for another week or two yet. The adults are the birds with yellow in the primaries and the waxy red tips, whereas the juveniles lack both the yellow and the waxy tips. Both adults and juveniles have the yellow tip to the tail.
