Waxwings

A brief drop in to Druridge Countryside Park yesterday looking for Smew turned up three beautiful Waxwings instead, sitting in a young Alder tree growing along the little stream which feeds into the western end of the lake. Stunning in the afternoon light.

    The Smew can be found on the North pool at East Chevington,it was favouring the area near the biggest island.
    It must have been great to see the Waxwings

    1. Hi Ian, had already tried East Chevington without success- hence quick drop in to Ladyburn to see if it was over there- some you see, some you don't!
