Invaders from the North arrive in Derbyshire

Waxwings finally reach Derbyshire

The invaders from Northern Scandinavia finally started to arrive in Derbyshire over the last few days. Many hundreds, maybe even thousands of Waxwings started to arrive in Britain early November. So it looks like being a "Waxwing Winter". Theses birds are stunning, especially the adult males. My first photographic attempts are below, I'm hoping for more opportunities throughout the winter. These birds were part of a flock of 40-50 at Allestree, near Derby this morning (10.11.2012).

Waxwings.
