Welsh Waxwings and a surprise Buzzard!!

After driving many miles last week to photograph these beautiful birds, low and behold the Waxwing invasion reached North Wales, and of all places they were 10 minutes from home, on the exotic location of Deeside Industrial Estate!! On the site there are a lot of Waxwings favourite, Rowan Trees and it seems they had spent a lot of the week slowly stripping the berries. These are such obliging birds to photograph, and I hope you enjoy this selection, not only a pleasure to photograph, it was a great morning as it was the first time Sharon had seen a Waxwing.

After this successful morning, we returned a couple of mornings later, but they were no where to be seen and had obviously moved on. But it was not a wasted trip, as the bird life on this industrial site is plentiful and I still managed some varied shots.

A lovely Buzzard perched on the fence that borders the site

  18. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and
    am concerned about switching to another platform.

  49. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve
    got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
