Sighthound 49 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Beautiful birds. I work on a large estate and saw a flock of 30 - 40 birds yesterday. I believe thay travel here in numbers to escape eastern europe/russian winters. They chose wrong yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me too Doxhope, never seen a one yet!! We were lucky in 2007, quite a few seemed to "settle" in Derbyshire, particularly around Carsington Reservoir. Haven't seen one since!!

john hubery 9 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Me too Doxy when I was a lad and first kept british birds and canarys I dreamed of owning a pair of wax wing, and in the winter would see large flock on the beery filled shrubs and bushes along our local disused railway line, now a distant memory cant remember the last time I seen them this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
