A flock of waxwings have been visiting my garden for a month now, I have been sticking apples out for them, I put some on the washing line today, took these photos from the kitchen window.

Beautiful images, thank you for sharing them with us. Lovely little creatures, were a particular favourite of my Grandfather who was an avid bird watcher.

That second photo of the two squabbling should be entered in a photo competition - it's a winner :D
