5th milestone of autumn migration - Bohemian Waxwing arrived

 














Yesterday it happened, the first Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) flew over our backyard. But still no Common Redpolls (Carduelis flammea), which is a small surprise to me. I wonder where they are? Lonely European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is still around, let's see if it's going to spend winter here - otherwise it should migrate soon to south. Too tired to write more this time...
