big up the bird geeks
It’s not called a waxwing because of its waxy colour- it’s called a waxwing because the red on their wing is actually a waxy secretion that is supposedly used to find a mate. You can age a waxwing with the amount of red on their wing.
Bird geeks is just asking to be shortened to beeks

That is cool.
We have hundreds that come through during fall they are beautiful and amazing they descend upon our berry trees and will stay there until they have eaten every single berry off the tree. They are beautiful and thankfully our berry trees are right outside our dining room windows so we get to watch them eat and play before they beat not everything and are off to the next berry tree.
The untied kingdom is currently experiencing an irruption, have been lucky to have seen these guys on three occasions this winter. My favourite species with out a doubt.
I've just seen my first Waxwings! 🎉
@@Lydiadragonbourne awesome!
A few years ago there was a small flock outside a Lidls store about 5 minutes walk from my house. Amazing :-)
Bird geek here 👋
Awesome video Cookie! Really enjoyed this one!
Fantastic to see cookie.
I’ve never truly appreciated how rare they are, when I was young a huge flock visited a few of our berry trees in the garden and I spent hours watching them. From then on I saw them pretty much each year but haven’t seen them the last 5😢
Incredible.
It's amazing to see all the "Anomalies" and just general wildlife there is in the UK.
I always heard as a kid that our country is just dead when it comes to wildlife, but over the years spending time in the country and going to parts of the UK I've got to see so many different species and now with your channel, has just completely opened my eyes even more to what you can find...
Big up Cookie! Great work!
I suppose on the grand scheme of things, it’s not great but there’s definitely cool things here! Thank you though mate, I appreciate it
@@WildlifeWithCookie Its great for bird species and especially vagrants, the UK's bird list is more than doubled when we include vagrants. Much of whom are becoming increasingly common, with news that even glossy ibis's are beginning to breed in the UK. For mammal life is definitely underwhelming,
I saw a few of them in a tree outside the kellogs factory in wrexham .
Saw some in lincolnshire several years ago amongst a flock of field fares
Here in Finland there is same or bird belonging same family. Maybe because we have Rowans at nature, these are really timid, and rarely nearly human habitation.. At autumn , before first frosty night , they sneak at yards by flying really low , if there is still berryes at domestic bushes or somethin to eat. Otherwise nearly impossible to see
WOW! Very cool bird! Fortunately, we have the cedar waxwing and bohemian waxwing here in the US. I'm always happy to see them. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely aren’t they?! Thanks for watching 😄
Beautiful birds!
Thank you for another great video, Cookie!
we had an eruption about 8 years ago in kent, near tunbridge wells...i saw them multiple times and was suprised to hear they were rare tbh. loving the work fella.
They come to Middleton park in Leeds. I have seen them in the trees at the entrance to the urban bike park
Always a joy to see and hear, waxwings. You too of course, Cookie!
Haha cheers!
They're sooooo beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!
Lovely video. Thank you! Saw yr post on waxwing sightings page about this video. I’d love to see them about 90 mins drive from me. Thanks for bringing them to me by video!
Good page with nice people! If you get a chance, get after it :)
Love the colour on their wings, great video 🥰
Great video Cookie amazing birds
thanks man and yeah they are! lovely little things
Great video! I'm lucky to live in Suffolk as it's a great place to find all kinds of birds, there's also a pair of Peregrine Falcons often found at the Ipswich waterfront on the tower blocks and Mandarin ducks in Christchurch Park!
Awesome! Norfolk/Suffolk does seem to have a variety of interesting things
Yeah they’re great looking little birds. I’ve seen them over the years here in Kent. I never heard them referred to as “Bohemian” Waxwings though.
Its a name that really fits the bird, there's three species of waxwing- Japanese (Eastern Asia), cedar (NA) and the Bohemian waxwing (artic circle). Waxwing can refer to either three, we do tend to only use waxwing in the UK but in areas where the ranges of different waxwings overlap its called by its full name. Bohemian overlaps with both species while Japanese and cedar do not overlap in range.
@@Revelationscreation Thanks 🙏🏼
Beautiful birds with the Cleopatra eyes lol,, Awesome road trip once again,, Cookies gone and done it again woohoo
Thanks mate!
Another great video cookie 👍
I saw 20 waxwings in a tree two years ago in Silsden West yorkshire and have seen them in my mums garden in gilstead bingley just saying love your channel regards dave
Missed a few waxwings in Reydon… will have to wait until next year, hopefully an invasion will happen that seems to occur every several years.
0:19 They live where?
I'm sure I spotted one in burnley, Lancashire
Great video as always bud 👍
Thank you
What a video. Good start to the evening.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks to the reporting of rare and unusual birds by “bird geeks” you got to see them cookie.
How interested would you be in seeing invasive species in the UK I know a place where you can find both the signal crayfish and mink living in the wild plus some water birds I haven’t seen anywhere else
Class video cookie 🐦
❤️❤️
Sightings and police reports of dogmen in North Wales UK. That would be an epic for this channel
I just watched that one when you was looking for a shark and you seen them sea slugs
Had loads come visit years ago in Fife Scotland. One flew into my window and died. Gave it to my Dad who fished alot and used the feathers to tie flies. Dude from the rspb wasn't too impressed when I told him my Dad had a dead one in the house and he was using its feathers for flkes. Haha. I think they stop over to hawthorn berries. There was literally thousands of waxwings that year. Crazy
Hope the feathers worked well with the fishing haha
Oh, my goodness. If I could mail you one of the local mountain ash trees, I could throw in a flock of these for free.🤣 But yeah, they are lovely birds. I’m in Canada.
What do you get more often cedars or bohemians?
Beautiful bird
Absolutely gorgeous!
hi cookie am quite sure I seen one around 5 years ago I live in sheffield.
most probably! wicked ain't they
As a Norwich lad, I can confirm that Ipswich is dead
Good old Ipswich
Nic video just subscribe to your channel .
seem about 15 of them brandhall golf course two day walking the dog did not know what the was
Ever sell your pictures to local papers? Turned out real nice
Nah never thought to to be fair, didn’t think there was a market for it really
Never thought that waxwings are rare elsewhere in the world
They weren't in rural Suffolk- as a young kid in the 60s I saw them fill the skys in great swarms. Like starlings.
Wheyyyyy up the ippy
I never seen a bird be that far they need to lose some weight 😂
Do u know how long these birds are likely to stay in these trees, I may go and look on a lunch break
Until they have exhausted all of the Berries.
They then move on.
As D Blyth says, basically until berries go! They’re on Blanche Street
I wonder what tree that is? And if thats a favourite?
I’m no good with flora but I’d guess Rowan? Rowan is supposedly a favourite to the Waxwing
Sorbus aucuparia is ordinary Mountain Ash (Red Berries) (not this tree) gets stripped first in late Sumner (by other birds) the pink Berried one is Sorbus huphensis?? and the white Berried (this one) is probably Sorbus cashmiriana.
Beautiful birds!
Thank you for another great video, Cookie!
Thank you mate!
