An apple a day ...

... attracts a waxwing!
Today, I went to meet cblinks2 and we had a most enjoyable time chatting about things like sport, music and blip and Blippers of course.
On the way, I popped in to see some friends in Peterhead and I took the main photo and the extra of a waxwing that was in their garden.
“The waxwing is a plump bird, which is slightly smaller than a starling. It has a prominent crest. It is reddish-brown with a black throat, a small black mask round its eye, yellow and white in the wings and a yellow-tipped tail. It does not breed in the UK, but is a winter visitor, in some years in larger numbers, called irruptions, when the population on its breeding grounds gets too big for the food available.”
