A rare sight of waxwings in the Rowan trees attracted many birdwatchers to Manchester Road in Crosspool over the past week.
The waxwings are migratory birds that usually visit the UK in winter, but their numbers vary depending on the availability of food in their native Scandinavia.
The twitchers, as they are known, were delighted to observe the colourful and crested birds feasting on the red berries of the Rowan trees. Some of them shared their photos and videos on social media, generating interest and admiration from other nature lovers.
