Wonderful Waxwings
If you asked a group of British bird watchers to name the 10 birds they'd most like to see in the UK in any given year I would expect Waxwings to feature in most of those lists.
These exotic looking birds with their velvety plumage, unlikely crests and tails dipped in yellow gloss paint are not uncommon and when they are around they can be very easy to see indeed, but they have a special quality that makes them particularly sought after. Some years they ...
Final thoughts
... Bad:
The open sewers (not everywhere thankfully but enough of them!) and thus the smells
The toilets
The roads and traffic. There appears to be NO lane discipline. As far as we can tell, the driver has to be very careful not to hit anyone from behind. That seems to be the only rule of the road. Wagons without rear lights also make driving at night hazardous

We got better view of it ...

Aug 11 – New Forest weekend
So it’s been an Indian summer in the UK. The weather has been terrible for the whole year, but I got lucky with my lovely Irish weekend. The last three weekends has been dominated by the Olympics. I am going to miss them so much! At first, I thought why the games had to come the precise time ...
