A wild and wet Queensbury

A bright morning which soon deteriorated into drizzly showers and the wind increasing to gale force after dark.
With talk of Waxwings on the move, see BTO blog, heres a reminder of what you,re looking for. The first port of call for them is usually supermarket car parks for the Rowan tree berries then they can appear anywhere where good supplies of berries are available.
