The BBC’s Autumnwatch program have been following the migration here and have asked viewers to be especially on the lookout for Bohemian Waxwings as they cross the North Sea to visit the berry bushes of the UK.

Looks-wise it definitely fits the bill – there is something truly regal about this wader. Looks almost like a souped-up Glossy Ibis with all those iridescent feathers!
