Birds Around Me 0001 - Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus)

Image
Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus) Taken on January 18, 2011 Location: Hemel Hempstead, UK (Latitude: 51.760305, Longitude: -0.436224)   This is the bird that got me in to photographing Birds Around Me. It is such a  beautiful bird that you can watch them for hours.  It has a prominent crest and is reddish-brown with a black throat, a small black mask round its eye. The yellow and white in the wings and a yellow-tipped tail make it very distinctive.  I photographed these in Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom behind our office car park. Although they are winter visitors in UK but it was bit unusual for these birds to be in this part of the island. Birds Around Me - Unfinished List (अपूर्ण  सूची)  Ashutosh Jhureley
