Ah Sheila, you lucky thing, I would love to see these birds in my garden. How wonderful to see them, I wonder when they will turn up. I look at the group 'Birds and Wildlife UK' pictures on Flickr, which has a lot of members and thousands of photos of our wildlife. Last year, people posted loads of pictures they had taken of the Waxwing, but this year there has not been any yet. Yours is the first pictures of Waxwings for this year I have seen. Congratulations:-)
thanks for your comments......you were right Warren they have come back again today and there are nine of them...I agree I am lucky especially as I dont spend as much time as a lot of you "real serious birders"who I really admire. Sheila

For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Those Waxwings will come back every day until the berries have gone shiela, they may even bring more Waxwings with them!
I'm not visiting your blog anymore,until you stop posting waxwing photo's, as I am so jealous. :-)
You are so lucky Sheila!!! Like everyone else, I'm green with envy :)
