Waxwings filmed and photographed at last

I had a lie in today due to all the snow melting because of the rain yesterday and then refreezing overnight and my brother went to take some Christmas wreaves to a lady that lives close to me and when he was out he spotted some Waxwings perched in a tree close to some white berry trees on small flat estate only about 2 minutes away from where I live so I jumped out of bed and quickly rushed to get dressed.

Luckily my kit was ready from yesterday so I was prepared and after missing them the first time I was determined to get some photos and video of them feeding on the berries and in the end there were about 8 birds and were very alert and in one instance I got about 3-4 metres away from one of these beautiful birds.

They stayed for about an hour and there behaviour became very predictable they all remained in a high tree and when one bird went to feed three others joined it while the remaining birds watched for predators and they did this every 10 minutes until a kestrel flew by and scattered the group. There is plenty of Berry's left so maybe they will return so I be checking the area over the next few days for signs of the Waxwings as I now want to get some slow motion flight shots.
