Waxwings on the move.

According to one of the bird forums the waxwings are congregating in large numbers in Sweden.
A single bird has been seen in Stromness,my brother saw it today,he also saw a flock fly overhead
so be on the lookout.Get those apples out in your gardens.

Thanks for the heads up MPH. I had a dream last night that I had my first ever waxwing in the garden today (I sooo want to see one!), alas t'was not a premonition, lol! Still, I'll put my apples out in the morn. :)

They're late!!!
This time last year there was over 1000 in Castletown, probably one of the best birding spectacles I have seen. Not pinning my hopes on such a good year again this year, but heres hoping I am completely wrong. Blackcaps seem to be todays influx. I have had the apples out for a week but at least the blackbirds are enjoying them.
