As Waxwings can now be found in many locations in the North West of England I thought I would have one more trip out to photograph these cracking birds before the berries disappeared and the birds move on. The plan was to return to Blackburn where I had photographed the birds last November as they had been reported on Weir Street the previous day. Arriving at the location the trees had been stripped of all berries with no sign of Waxwings, as the rain had now set in I decided to called it a day.
The following day I'm off to Bolton where a report of up to 50 Waxwings were feeding in the area of the town centre, plenty of berries on the trees but again no Waxwings. Time to implement plan "C" and track down the town centre Peregrine Falcons which were frequenting a public building.
Battling the strong wind which was making photography bit tricky, I photographed a pair of Peregrines Falcons who were intent on trying to catch a couple ravens renovating a nest on ledge below the Peregrine's perch. Lots of watching, diving attempting to catch either of the two ravens made for a number of photo opportunities.
