Celebrating a Waxwing Winter
10,000 Birds
MARCH 8, 2024
A bird ringed near Helsinki, Finland, in October 1970 was found dead, 18 days later, in the Scottish west-coast town of Stranraer, a distance of 1,800km and a minimum speed of 100km per day. I’ve managed to see them, too, on their breeding grounds in Finland in summer. For many years Waxwings were my bogey birds that I kept on missing.
