16 Waxwing still in poplars on Radnor side of the river in the second field from the bridge. Please don’t approach too close otherwise they stay at the top and don’t drop down to feed on the mistletoe.

Really nice photos Peter. I wanted to find some waxwings on mistletoe in poplars - bit of a niche ambition! - seeing how it grows in such profusion on these trees. More natural food source than the cotoneaster they seem to like best, and maybe the last berries available this late in the season?

10/03/2024 at Usk valley, Brynich to Brecon

Seven Chiffchaffs along the Usk from Brynich to Brecon. Three at Brecon STW were probably birds that had wintered there, but two in riverside trees near Brynich and two in Island Field were surely new.
