| Description |
English: Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Baltasound Waxwings breed in northern Europe and, while insectivorous in the summer, they feed exclusively on fruits and berries in the winter. If the berry crop in Scandinavia is poor, or the Waxwing population is very high, the population erupts and heads south and west looking for food. Irruptions into Britain used to be sporadic, but have become more regular in the last few decades. This bird is feeding on Rosa rugosa hips, one of the few food sources available in Shetland. |
