Great Question, will investigate

​@@mt201918only reason I ask is i hear the exact sound of the antlers clashing in the middle of the night followed by what sounded like a baby rabbit screaming. This video is the closest I could find to those weird sounds I heard.

Using DNA, scientists have produced some shocking discoveries. Most birds are far from monogamous. Most birds do not mate for life, and most of those that do aren't quite as faithful as we'd like to think. Over 92 percent of all bird species form a pair bond and stay together for at least part of the nesting cycle.

PALDIES !

Thanks for your comment, on the 27th we another new Waxwing, making it a group of 6 now.

Thank you! Sorry I might not have said it properly, were they in the cluster of rowan trees at the end near the play area, the closer ones? Or were they somewhere else? Just trying to work out if they were feeding close to fence today!

Yes, feeding near the playpark, and coming very close to the Fence.

Thank you! That's much appreciated!

Waxwings showed well 9.00am to 10.30am. But was very cold, so wrap up well. Plan to be there until 10.00am, and back around 12.

Thanks for your kind comments

Thank you for your all your help… Hopefully they’ll still be there tomorrow morning, although I see the berries are disappearing fast😮

@viewfinder-ianjhicks4039 will be around for tomorrow,

Hi Ian, thanks for your kind comment- expecting these Waxwings to be arround for a number of weeks, due to all the food avaiable. The more I wach them, the more I learn about these amazing visitors. Think you would enjoy the attached video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGXJiGyrnLl9pbc

Love these vids…. I now live in Newark, Notts….. I would love to come down to Priors Hall…. Are they easy to locate? I understand if you don’t want to reveal exact location. Thanks again for posting Ian👍

@viewfinder-ianjhicks4039. 06 Jan Waxwing Corby - four still, feeding on rowan berries, near ‘Parkletics’ exercise area at Southern Gullet, Priors Hall Park, 52.5040, -0.6330, 10.00, best viewed from Park View NN17 5AX.

Worth visiting, waxwing site has made headlines in local press. Easy to locate. Plenty of parking at viewing area. Good local cafes near by. Just getting ready to visit now, 2 miles away for me. Recommend visiting 8.30am to 11.30 am. But showing until going to roost around 3pm.

Thanks for you kind comment - expecting them to stop for weeks - loads of food for them.

Koh-i-noor, (Persian: “mountain of light”) also spelled Kūh-e Nūr, Koh-i-nûr, and Kohinoor, one of the world’s most famous diamonds, known for its size (105.6 carats) and the controversy concerning its ownership. Some sources note that the first references to the diamond, which later became known as the Koh-i-noor, appeared in Sanskrit and possibly even Mesopotamian texts as early as 3200 BCE, but this claim is controversial. In contrast, some experts believe that Sultan ʿAlāʾ-ud-Dīn Khaljī took the jewel in 1304 from the raja of Malwa, India, whose family had owned it for many generations. Other writers have identified the Koh-i-noor with the diamond given to the son of Bābur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, by the raja of Gwalior after the battle of Panipat in 1526. Still others have contended that it came originally from the Kollur mine of the Krishna River and was presented to the Mughal emperor Shah Jahān in 1656. Some claim that the stone was cut from the Great Mogul diamond described by the French jewel trader Jean-Baptiste Tavernier in 1665, but the Koh-i-noor’s original lack of fire and shape make that unlikely. In any case, it most likely formed part of the loot of Nāder Shah of Iran when he sacked Delhi in 1739. After his death it fell into the hands of his general, Aḥmad Shah, founder of the Durrānī dynasty of Afghans. His descendant Shah Shojāʿ, when a fugitive in India, was forced to surrender the stone to Ranjit Singh, the Sikh ruler. On the annexation of the Punjab in 1849, the Koh-i-noor was acquired by the British and was placed among the crown jewels of Queen Victoria. In 1851 the diamond was put on display at the Great Exhibition in London. While it drew large crowds, viewers were said to be largely disappointed by its appearance. Garrard was subsequently tasked with cutting the diamond. Due to flaws within the gem, the Koh-i-noor lost more size than was originally intended. However, the resulting stone was considered dazzling. It was incorporated into various items in subsequent years. Notably, it was the central stone in the queen’s state crown fashioned for use by Queen Elizabeth, consort of George VI, at her coronation in 1937. The Koh-i-noor has long been the source of controversy. India has repeatedly demanded the return of the diamond, claiming that it was stolen. In addition, some view it as a symbol of colonial conquest. The British monarchy has attempted to quell the scandal by limiting the diamond’s usage. In the lead-up to Charles III’s coronation in 2023, there was much discussion over whether his wife, Queen Camilla, would wear the diamond. However, Buckingham Palace announced that the Koh-i-noor would not be featured in the ceremony.

Hi, Thomas. Thanks for you comment. Would swap Florida with the UK any days. Looking forward to what September brings.

Hi, thanks for your comment, I am hoping to see them again this winter.
