More Newtown Waxwings

As well as the birds seen at the college today, I also observed a handful near the fire station, 25+ near Mac Donalds, at least 1 fly catching along Canal road and 66 on Glandulas drive. No doubt most if not all are part of the ever growing flock at the college, but well in excess of 100 Waxwings in Newtown today!!

    Lovely shot Paul - good to see you again - obviously great to see so many birds around but I guess that mans the food supply will be exhausted soon!

    Trevor - I leave that to others who indulge in such activity - I don't! Facebook is as far as I go in the social media world!
