Over the last few weeks there have been more and more reports of Waxwings being seen in the country. This indicates that there has been a 'berry failure' on the continent. In Glasgow, birds have been reported from around the city e.g. Garscube Road, Partick, Hyndland, Whiteinch, Cardonald, Kings Park, Newlands and Hogganfield Park (all reports courtesy of the SOC Clyde Grapevine).
Tom Rankin also reports c40 birds near the Botanic Gardens on Saturday 17 November 2012.
Sadly I have still to see one this winter despite walking for hours around their usual haunts in Anniesland. So I'll have to make do with a bird photographed at Binghams' Pond in 2008....
and one taken in our garden also in 2008.......................................
