Description
A few days ago I met someone in the train and we had a nice talk.He told me he had seen waxwings today and I must admit I was a bit jealous.
The next day I planned to stay at home because someone would come by to paint my house.
And then the painter called: he couldn't make it, since he caught the flew.
Which left me with a whole day to fill and i decided to try my luck and go search for some waxwings...
And guess what: I found them!
Unfortunately the weather wasn't all that (grey & windy) and they were a bit far away for my 420mm. So no high quality pictures...
But hey....I saw my first Waxwings, how cool is that?!

You're lucky ! Those birds are beautiful, I saw them only once but I remember all the excitment when I made my brother stop the car thinking it might be a waxwing that I saw, and then realizing there were dozens of them !

They're beautiful. I love waxwings. We don't get Bohemians here we get Cedars. We see them about once a year for a short time and they clean the berries off everything!
