A Whstsapp message popped up whilst I was having breakfast. Local birder Graham Smith had found 4 Waxwings on the W. paddock hedge. Fingers crossed when I eventually set out, then it started to rain!. Ploughed on with Poppy the pooch in tow, squelching through the mud of the paddock, I eventually found the birds sitting atop a Silver Birch overlooking the dragonfly pond. They were quite settled there, occasionally dropping down to grab rose hips. I tied Poppy to a bench nearby then using a bush as cover, managed to get a few photos despite the rain. In the top right pic, the lowest bird is a Redwing.
