This years flock was greater than 50 birds. Waxwings are a welcome visitor from the far north and could have travelled from as far away as northern Russia. 2011 has been a boom year for these migrating birds, probably in part due to poor berry crops in Scandanavia. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cI20ShCxG8g/TXkORcIFRMI/AAAAAAAAAT0/oGDC72a-VK0/s1600/spurnpoint%2B2011%2B%252811%2Bof%2B20%2529.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582508905873097922" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 248px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cI20ShCxG8g/TXkORcIFRMI/AAAAAAAAAT0/oGDC72a-VK0/s320/spurnpoint%2B2011%2B%252811%2Bof%2B20%2529.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxVT2gF1mRixI1skbj2ue7Ii753UOo_pyXfxkL-veI1o5sjyYz9efJptbdPwix9U-8gooY0V7OL2LFUNOLAXg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Dave Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15279679328778942425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818296562844504974.post-80260561760875710332011-02-12T04:07:00.000-08:002011-02-12T04:28:08.039-08:00Casablanca Boys<p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwmcoV8OA8Dio1zyR8FhpSr0QxyUTjkhxGpcwheoksp-gfxwu2LcAdLqR_Qv-6PQC-TreIvqyvct6PqkIAm7Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Dave Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15279679328778942425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818296562844504974.post-28440915368835880652011-01-09T12:30:00.000-08:002011-01-09T12:34:25.441-08:00Skidby Mill by Night<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AhhKKD0JY7Q/TSobkerr1AI/AAAAAAAAATg/i6Tz8jcOmRM/s1600/_LND5480.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560287003467830274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 190px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AhhKKD0JY7Q/TSobkerr1AI/AAAAAAAAATg/i6Tz8jcOmRM/s320/_LND5480.jpg" border="0" /></a> Skidby Mill by night.
