Waxwings at Sighthill in Edinburgh

 We took the opportunity last week to catch up with some Waxwings again, this time in Sighthill. They had been around for a couple of weeks but we hadn't had the time to drive over and see them. The location was easy to find, but of course no Waxwings when we arrived. Another birder told us they had been there about 10 minutes previously. We decided to be patient and hang around, of course we had Coffee with us so it wasn't a great hardship, although it was very cold and icy, meantime some Bullfinches and Fieldfare showed well:



In addition, much to our surprise, a solitary Reed Bunting popped up over the road. Bizarre!

Anyway our patience was finally rewarded with some brief views before they shot off again.
