Good Morning Waxwing! Redpolls, Bramblings, Godwit and Glaucous Gull

Waxwing!
and Black-Tailed Godwit in background as a bonus!

As I looked out my window about 8:30 am Birds Birds Birds! A Waxwing a bird I have predicted would show up again on it's way north. I managed to get a record shot after I called the family and guest over to see it. I still am happy with that even after last years excitement of hand feeding Waxwings apples. It's not even a first of the year for me but it's made my day and all I had done is get out of bed and looked out the window. It flew off after a minute or two as neighbouring activity spooked the bird. I haven't seen it again. Plenty of other birds to look at... A Black-tailed Godwit & Glaucous Gull with the Gulls and Curlew on Meowness. The garden was a buzz with birds... 2 Redpolls, 5 Bramblings, 2 female Siskin, a few Chaffinch, a Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, male- Blackcap more and more Wheatears... and of course the regulars Twite, House Sparrows, Rock Doves and Starlings with special guests appearances of Collard Dove and 2 Wood Pigieons. In the South Harbour bird of note 2 Dunlin and a R-B Merganser.

Glaucous Gull was also sitting on Meowness as viewed from the Haa.
It's the one that looks like the battleship.

Birds on my door step as I look out my front door.
Brambling Chaffinch & Redpole.
I swear I do not post these photos to make people jealous...
I am just continually amazed at what I can see from my window.
And without photos who would beleave me?

Birds can brighten up your day!
