Ratel's photos #230 Forest Birds-177

The Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)

Finally I managed to get close to them very close!
It was in the afternoon, in sunny weather. It is obvious that the birds all day looking for food, and already well fed. And now they were resting basking in the sun.

One bird decided to drink from a puddle of melted snow. Pay attention to the tips of the wings. Red and yellow spots are almost invisible. Yes, it's a female.

Other birds were sitting on the trees and putting themselves in order.
Someone jumped on branches, someone just basked. The most interesting thing is that they were not afraid of me. Let me remind you that in the winter, they sat only on the tops of trees, and were very afraid of any rustle.
