Field Notes

Description:

A beautiful member of the waxwing family of passerines. In Norway I associate these birds with autumn, as it is then they are most commonly seen, moving in flocks and eating rowan berries.

Beautiful bird! They only come to the north of Spain accidentally, just when it is very cold in the rest of Europe
