Waxwings are natives of northern Europe where they breed in the summer and feed on insects. They are surprisingly acrobatic while feeding, behaving more like a Tit or Warbler.
They will eat rowan and hawthorn berries in urban gardens. You may also be able to entice Waxwings into your garden by hanging apples from branches.
They often show up around supermarkets and retail parks because many car parks are now bordered with rowan or hawthorn bushes and there are plenty of people to notice these approachable birds.

I setup the camera near the trees so I could have a good view of the house, and then used a remote release to trigger the shutter, while I sat on my patio nearby in a comfy chair.

Record shots only and all heavily cropped. Amazing how such a big bird can be so well camouflaged. Such a thrill to have one of these locally at the SWT centre just up the road from us.
