Bombycilla garrulus Family: Passeriformes Pinky-buff and crested, the Starling-sized Waxwing is an irruptive visitor to the UK during the winter months. Waxwings come to the UK in search of berries when crops run low closer to their breeding grounds in Fennoscandia and western Russia. As such can turn up at anytime during the winter and in varying numbers. This behaviour is known as ‘irruptive’ as, if berries remain plentiful in northern Europe very few Waxwings, if any, will move. The Waxwing’s favoured berry is that of the Rowan and during ‘Waxwing winters’, they can gather in large flocks at just a few Rowan trees. Waxwings can turn up anywhere in the UK, but are less commonly reported in western regions than further east.
