IT'S A WAXWING WINTER
The gorgeous, Starling-sized Waxwing is a bird which appears in the country every winter, but in incredibly variable numbers. Some years, they can be pretty scarce, while in other winters, we may have thousands or even tens of thousands across the UK. In the breeding season (in Scandinavia, Finland and Russia), they eat a lot of insects, and are adept at catching them in flight. In winter, however, Waxwings are famous fruit eaters. So, in years of a poor berry crop in their northern range, especially after bumper breeding seasons, Waxwings start to travel en masse, in search of fruit. Such mass movements are known as ‘irruptions’ and happen periodically and somewhat cyclically. This winter is showing a certain amount of promise of such a joyous invasion. Waxwings are not just popular because they are
scarce; they are also exquisitely beautiful.
