Ratel's photos #221 Forest Birds-168

The Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)

Surprisingly, before these birds did not allow me to approach them closer. They sat at the very tops of the trees and looked at me. But in the spring everything changed. I was able to approach them very close. I stayed with them for a while, so they got used to me, and then i gradually approached. They sat on the bushes and enjoyed the sun, warmed themselves.

After a while they all flew over to the nearest bush, and began to eat growing buds. Occasionally giving a voice, not to lose each other.

Waxwings very voracious birds, they swallowing berries, buds, seeds, whole, not even pecking.
