Its seldom ever that you find WAXWINGS where they're reported from, the birds often move around a lot. So it was great that the flock I saw today stayed true to their location in exactly the same place, as they have for the past couple of days. Located near where Sidegate Street and Colchester Road meet in a tree groaning under the weight of Mistletoe, there were nine birds, doing what birds do, sitting on branches in a tree.
WAXWINGS have very handsome birds with a colour that kind of defies any label, maybe a pinky-brown, black face and a nice crest. Unfortunately they were just too far away for photographs today. A good sighting of a bird that is often infuriating to discover.
