Will a Waxwing winter soon be upon us? ❄️
 
These eclectic visitors from Scandinavia and other areas of Northern Europe roam the skies in nomadic flocks, searching for berries. But their arrival is often unpredictable…
 
In some years, only a few hundred will make the journey to the UK, but in others, thousands will flock to our shores in what’s known as an ‘irruption’.
 
So if you happen to find a Rowan or Hawthorn tree heavy with fruit, you might just get lucky and see these stunning birds!
