Waxwings at Spencers Wood, Wednesday 3rd of February

Was sitting in my van pulled onto the side of the old Basingstoke Road at Spencers Wood to eat my lunch, when a glance across the road revealed a couple of Waxwings in a tree some 50 metres away.

Anyway, had my camera with me and got a couple of shots, there were around 20 there, feeding on apples in a garden. Couldn't get very close, but it was a lovely bright afternoon.

You managed some great shots there, Rolf!

Isn't it amazing how the birds easily match the seed pods hanging from the tree? They give them good camouflage!:)

Yes, at a glance you'd miss them, fortunately a couple had been sitting in a taller tree with no leaves or pods at all.

OOh, a lucky catch there, Rolf - and it IS funny how they match the seed heads :) A couple of lovely clear shots. Nice.

That was right opposite Hunters' shop, now a chemist.:)

Nothing's the same as it was, is it :(
