    Morning all :)

    Having been told that about 40 waxwings had arrived in the town centre I went and had a look. They arrive about same time every year and stay for week or so. This is the first time I have ever seen one.

    Excuse the picture quality as it was 08 30 in the morning and cloudy skies giving bad light. Had a go at tweeking with cannon edit to try and show the vivid colour, opinions appreciated as I am still learning this DSLR photography. Went back at lunchtime and got a cracking shot with sunshine and blue skies, will post tomorrow.

    There seems to have been a lot around this winter, doesn't there ?
    I've not seen any, although, they were in the town here for a few days.
