Hi

Yes ragy's pics are fantastic.

These days we only watch the ever-decreasing number of birds that feed in our garden.

However the picture of the beautiful waxwings brought back our minds to last Autumn when we were walking past our Railway station -almost in the middle of town.

There were crowds of people there, several with cameras taking shots of birds feeding off the rowan berries.

I had never heard of waxwings, never mind having seen any. There were dozens of them.

They made a wonderful sight.

We were told by some bird watchers that the waxwings were very seldom seen in the North West of England.

Thank you for reviving a lovely memory.

Cheers
