Did anyone get to see the Waxwings reportedly eating berries off
the trees outside the Rotunda?

They’ve come quite common recently around the Dublin/Kildare area.

Check out this site for their sightings:

We had them on the neighbours berry bush in Co Clare a couple of years ago (I know that is odd)….I think it was 2006. Fab looking birds and interesting to watch one keep guard while the others ate and then switching over….the berry bush was emptied in a few days and then they were gone!
