Waxwing update

As many people know over the last few days the Waxwings have been dropping in numbers but this afternoon around 60 were back at the college car park these birds were very flighty  but finally settled and were quite photogenic in between showers.
 





This Buzzard was taken today on the roundabout by Llanidloes.
