Waxwings have a fairly small bill , just used for picking fruit,but look at the gape , another couple from the other day, and some odds and sods.

Not quite so elegant and rather pot bellied flight shot.

Another year ends, I had given up on my how fast to 200 list long ago, but apart from the poor Seawatching and the lack of Dragonflies & Butterflies it's been a good year. here's looking forward to 2009, I'm making no New Years Resolutions, unless you can count that as one ?.

Anyway I wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!! and Best Wishes for 2009

Lesser Grey Shrike, it's singing very softly, what a little star !!!!!!
