More Waxwing

Never get tired of them, so went to photograph and see the waxwings in Bursledon. they were very close but in a bush right in front of a house. This did not help in providing a natural back drop! Also the sun was not helping but still was good fun, just hope I get the chance soon in perfect conditions, there are enough waxies about to make this possible!! Anyway here are a few of the shots:

After seeing the waxies Sam and I went to Lakeside for a look around, most of the lakes were completely frozen but the place seemed alive with snipe. Reed Buntings were also showing well but too distant for any photos. managed a few photos I'm pleased with, esp the Green woodpecker which was hard to follow in flight due to the undulation:
