Waxwings







Waxwings seen 31.10.2013 on one of my
lunch break walks around Töölönlahti
in the center of Helsinki.

I'm linking to Wild Bird Wednesday.

    They're so pretty. And to see them foraging in the colorful berries makes for some beautiful photography!

    Super images Gunilla. I read that we may not get any visiting Waxwings this Winter as you have too much wild fruit and berries for them and they just won't bother to fly South West.

      Thank you Roy! I only saw them once. They cleaned out the trees and moved on.

      Thank you Margaret! I think we had less berries than usual and they moved on quickly.

    I love waxwings! Can still remember how exciting it was to see my first ones, feeding each other holly berries in our backyard. A beautiful set of pictures. Thank you.
