I did that and it worked for a very short while and was so messy. Taz, seems the little squirrel was searching for nuts in that video when he jumped on the guy. Aren't I naughty?

Waxwings. Lots of. At 10.20 a.m. near our house. We went away at 10.18 a.m.

Hey we had those - never seen them before in my life - a neighbour said they were waxwings. I'm in Leicester - so as far inland as you can get.

They are beautiful birds. We have had very few sightings in Hampshire. There is info here from the BTO http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/natureuk/2010/10/migration-news-28-october-2010.shtml

Hubby's gone to work so the waxwings are back again ! Snow in the North of Scotland, apparently visibility is bad

- here it's blowing hard!

Taz2 · « **Reply #818 on:** February 07, 2011, 09:25:26 AM »

Are they in your garden then? If so I am so jealous!

Morning Taz! :wave: nope, in my neighbour's crab apple tree stripping the golden fruits, far enough down the road so that I can't actually seem them

and Hubby is green with envy

Oooh, I'd love to see waxwings. Never have. $:-\$

CLKD · « **Reply #821 on:** February 07, 2011, 03:14:51 PM »

Nor have we in real life, only on the neighbour's camera last night

They have cute little tufty heads. But only if you look close. Otherwise they look a bit like starlings, so maybe you could imagine...

Eddie · « **Reply #823 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:25:54 PM »

Are they the same size?

CLKD · « **Reply #824 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:28:25 PM »

Nothing like starlings

they have cream coloured feathers with black cheeks .......
