Bohemian Waxwing (bombycilla garrulus)

These migratory birds move down on mass from the northern part of the globe to escape the harsh winter. They are the size of starlings and are veracious eaters of berries. When I photographed this one it was on its own and had typically chosen a particular spot to feed for a couple of days, before moving on.

 

For bird enthusiasts they are a constant source of fascination, and their movement south is often tracked. This year because of travel restrictions, it is not always possible to view or photograph them, unless of course you are lucky and find some nearer to home.

 

Have a blessed week and keep safe 🙏
