Waxwings Holme 6th December


With attention focused on the sea in the morning, finding Waxwings around the car park was a pleasant surprise for the afternoon. 1 individual posed on the wires briefly, before flying off in the direction of the Firs and the Obs and being joined by a further individual in flight. 5 minutes later either another Waxwing, or 1 of the original 2 birds, landed on the same stretch of wires before flying off in the same direction. At least 6 Waxwings seen in Snettisham Coastal Park the following morning so all part of a fresh influx?
