My First Ever Waxwings

This winter is the year of another Waxwing invasion into the southern parts of Europe. The previous one was in winter when I was only starting with birdwatching. Despite bad weather conditions we observed 118 birds in the treetops in Bratislava city center next to the River Danube. Hope they will stay for longer period of time to enjoy this uncommon guest in Central Europe.
