More Waxwing, Just For Completeness!

One of the better shots of the day.


I popped down to Dolydd Hafren in the afternoon to check on the Harris Hawk.  If it is indeed hunting, I'm impressed, as the attached bell is audible from the first hide.

    Thanks, it was a real treat, I've never seen Waxwing before. Hoping we can find them over the following weekends!

    Update: I've informed the Independent Bird Register, so hopefully the owner can be tracked down.
