All photos by Oscar Dewhurst<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>About the waxwing<\/h2>\n<p>With their prominent crest, pinkish hues, black mask and gaudy red-and-yellow wing markings, the waxwing is a wildlife photographer\u2019s dream when combined with an aesthetic branch\u00a0of rowan berries.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong> Waxwings first appear in the north-east of the UK in November, then spread south and west, returning to breeding grounds in March.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong> Waxwings measure 19-23cm, with a 32-35.5cm wingspan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nest<\/strong> A cup-shaped nest will be placed in trees or shrubs in coniferous forests, often near water. In Europe, these birds breed in Scandinavia and across northern Russia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diet<\/strong> During the winter, which is when you are most likely to see them, waxwings feed on fruit and berries, particularly rowan, hawthorn, cotoneaster and rose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Population<\/strong> Numbers vary depending on food availability, but the average winter population is 11,000. A poor berry crop in Scandinavia will push waxwings across the North Sea to the UK. In irruption years, they can appear all over the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Waxwings are a favourite among birders and photographers alike. When they arrive in the UK, it is\u00a0usually because they cannot find enough food in Scandinavia, so they are often dismissive of humans and can be somewhat confiding.<\/p>\n<h2>Habitat<\/h2>\n<p>These birds are wanderers, cleaning out a group of rowan trees or cotoneaster bushes before moving on to the next food source. They aren\u2019t fussy about location \u2013 most of my images were taken in north London, standing on a pavement on the A1. I\u2019ve also seen images of waxwings taken in supermarket car parks.<\/p>\n<h2>Best time to shoot<\/h2>\n<p>While waxwings feed throughout the day, they may be more active in the morning and late afternoon. Although the sun is low in the sky during winter, there is still a noticeable difference with images taken at either end of the day. Going out early and late gives you the option of shooting into the sun to create silhouettes of the birds against vivid orange and red backgrounds, resulting in some striking images.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_71295&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71295 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg\" alt=\"Waxwings,-urban-areas,-Oscar-Dewhurst\" width=\"1000\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=300,176 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=630,369 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=900,527 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-urban-areas-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=562,329 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Waxwings perch on aerials in urban areas, and can be found in berry bushes near motorways<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<h3>Settings<\/h3>\n<p>I use aperture priority or manual mode, depending on the light. If it is a clear sunny day and the light is unlikely to change, manual means your camera\u2019s metering won\u2019t be thrown by a particularly dark branch or light object. If the sun keeps going behind the clouds, however, I would stick with aperture priority simply because it means you do not have to keep changing the exposure to keep up with the weather. As the birds will always be moving, continuous autofocus is a must, and a single focus point reduces the chance of the camera switching focus to the background.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding them<\/h3>\n<p>As waxwings often do not spend more than a few days in a particular location, finding them is difficult on your own. They are a popular quarry of birders and photographers, however, so the best approach is to\u00a0check the recent sightings pages of local and county bird clubs. There is also a Twitter account (@waxwingsuk) that posts locations as and when enthusiasts hear of them. Once you\u2019ve decided on a location, give yourself a few hours because if they are not in the berry trees they may be perched on an aerial or a tree nearby. Listen out for their distinctive trilling sound.<\/p>\n<h3>Approach<\/h3>\n<p>As the main concern of these birds is food, they are often unfazed by people. That said, it pays to approach slowly, because if you spook one it is likely they will all be startled and take off. It can be difficult to know where to focus when there are many, so\u00a0try focusing on a photogenic branch or small part of the tree with a nice background behind it.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_71296&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71296 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg\" alt=\"Waxwing-on-branch,-Oscar-Dewhurst\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=300,425 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=282,400 282w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=900,1276 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwing-on-branch-Oscar-Dewhurst.jpg?resize=562,797 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You can create a more striking composition by focusing on a waxwing perched on a particularly beautiful branch<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<h3>Gloves<\/h3>\n<p>The best time to look for waxwings is in the middle of winter. Standing still for many hours is not a pleasant experience, and your camera, lens and tripod will get cold. Gloves make it easier to operate your equipment when waxwings do eventually appear.<\/p>\n<h3>Tripod<\/h3>\n<p>As photographing waxwings can involve\u00a0quite a bit of waiting around, being able to leave your camera on a tripod during periods of inactivity is much easier than holding it for long periods.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Oscar Dewhurst is an award-winning wildlife photographer who has dedicated countless hours to photographing bitterns.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/02\/Waxwings-t.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-17 12:11:12","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71282"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71335,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71282\/revisions\/71335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71282"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=71282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
