Waxwings Are In The UK, Here's Where To Find Them 

big up the bird geeks

The untied kingdom is currently experiencing an irruption, have been lucky to have seen these guys on three occasions this winter. My favourite species with out a doubt.

A few years ago there was a small flock outside a Lidls store about 5 minutes walk from my house. Amazing :-)

Bird geek here 👋 Awesome video Cookie! Really enjoyed this one!

We have hundreds that come through during fall they are beautiful and amazing they descend upon our berry trees and will stay there until they have eaten every single berry off the tree. They are beautiful and thankfully our berry trees are right outside our dining room windows so we get to watch them eat and play before they beat not everything and are off to the next berry tree.

Fantastic to see cookie. I’ve never truly appreciated how rare they are, when I was young a huge flock visited a few of our berry trees in the garden and I spent hours watching them. From then on I saw them pretty much each year but haven’t seen them the last 5😢

I’ve seen huge flocks of waxwings in two separate locations in Aberdeen , one on rowan trees in centre of town and another in similar trees on banks of river Dee. After stripping berries they were gone .

Incredible. It's amazing to see all the "Anomalies" and just general wildlife there is in the UK. I always heard as a kid that our country is just dead when it comes to wildlife, but over the years spending time in the country and going to parts of the UK I've got to see so many different species and now with your channel, has just completely opened my eyes even more to what you can find... Big up Cookie! Great work!

WOW! Very cool bird! Fortunately, we have the cedar waxwing and bohemian waxwing here in the US. I'm always happy to see them. Thanks for sharing!

Always a joy to see and hear, waxwings. You too of course, Cookie!

Saw some in lincolnshire several years ago amongst a flock of field fares

They're sooooo beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!

Beautiful birds! Thank you for another great video, Cookie!

Great video Cookie amazing birds

Lovely video. Thank you! Saw yr post on waxwing sightings page about this video. I’d love to see them about 90 mins drive from me. Thanks for bringing them to me by video!

we had an eruption about 8 years ago in kent, near tunbridge wells...i saw them multiple times and was suprised to hear they were rare tbh. loving the work fella.

Beautiful birds with the Cleopatra eyes lol,, Awesome road trip once again,, Cookies gone and done it again woohoo

They come to Middleton park in Leeds. I have seen them in the trees at the entrance to the urban bike park

Great video! I'm lucky to live in Suffolk as it's a great place to find all kinds of birds, there's also a pair of Peregrine Falcons often found at the Ipswich waterfront on the tower blocks and Mandarin ducks in Christchurch Park!

Yeah they’re great looking little birds. I’ve seen them over the years here in Kent. I never heard them referred to as “Bohemian” Waxwings though.

Here in Finland there is same or bird belonging same family. Maybe because we have Rowans at nature, these are really timid, and rarely nearly human habitation.. At autumn , before first frosty night , they sneak at yards by flying really low , if there is still berryes at domestic bushes or somethin to eat. Otherwise nearly impossible to see

I saw 20 waxwings in a tree two years ago in Silsden West yorkshire and have seen them in my mums garden in gilstead bingley just saying love your channel regards dave

Love the colour on their wings, great video 🥰

I'm sure I spotted one in burnley, Lancashire

What a video. Good start to the evening.

Another great video cookie 👍

Great video as always bud 👍

Missed a few waxwings in Reydon… will have to wait until next year, hopefully an invasion will happen that seems to occur every several years.

hi cookie am quite sure I seen one around 5 years ago I live in sheffield.

0:19 They live where?

Oh, my goodness. If I could mail you one of the local mountain ash trees, I could throw in a flock of these for free.🤣 But yeah, they are lovely birds. I’m in Canada.

Class video cookie 🐦

Had loads come visit years ago in Fife Scotland. One flew into my window and died. Gave it to my Dad who fished alot and used the feathers to tie flies. Dude from the rspb wasn't too impressed when I told him my Dad had a dead one in the house and he was using its feathers for flkes. Haha. I think they stop over to hawthorn berries. There was literally thousands of waxwings that year. Crazy

How interested would you be in seeing invasive species in the UK I know a place where you can find both the signal crayfish and mink living in the wild plus some water birds I haven’t seen anywhere else

I just watched that one when you was looking for a shark and you seen them sea slugs

Beautiful bird

Sightings and police reports of dogmen in North Wales UK. That would be an epic for this channel

Thanks to the reporting of rare and unusual birds by “bird geeks” you got to see them cookie.

Nic video just subscribe to your channel .

Good old Ipswich

Wheyyyyy up the ippy

Do u know how long these birds are likely to stay in these trees, I may go and look on a lunch break

Never thought that waxwings are rare elsewhere in the world

seem about 15 of them brandhall golf course two day walking the dog did not know what the was

Ever sell your pictures to local papers? Turned out real nice

I wonder what tree that is? And if thats a favourite?

As a Norwich lad, I can confirm that Ipswich is dead

I never seen a bird be that far they need to lose some weight 😂

Beautiful birds! Thank you for another great video, Cookie!
