Waxwing Heaven

  Hello everybody, I'm back after a computer breakdown so I apologise

  to my readers or followers.

  Lots of reports of Pink Footed Geese flying over Calderdale during the

  last few months and good to hear that the Waxwings are back.

  I got a nice surprise on Christmas Day on the garden feeders, a 

  Lesser Spotted Woodpecker stuck among 20+ Goldfinch it stood out

  a mile what a beautiful bird I believe it was a female,  also had an albino
  Goldfinch on the feeders.

  Yesterday I had 2 Peregrine Falcons fly over the back fields together

   towards Swalesmoor, so today with the sun coming out to play I decided

  so shall I after more reports of Waxwing at Lane Head, Brighouse, well 

  lo and behold they were there maybe 50 or more mixed in with Redwing

  and a few Mistle Thrush, plenty of birders their with camera's clicking away,

  and it was nice to bump into Graham H, David L and Phil D, at the top of

  the park were 3 Brambling tho they were very flighty.

   At Cromwell Bottom, 50+ Pink Footed Geese flew over and a Buzzard flew
   out of a tree and low along the river, a Green Woodpecker was in the back field
   of my house but flew off before I could get a shot, but it seems to becoming
   a regular visitor.
