Residents of the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg noticed large flocks of hungry waxwings, devouring hawthorn and mountain ash. The photos and videos were shared by citizens in the VKontakte group Birds of St. Petersburg and Russia.
“But just a couple of months ago, I thought that seeing waxwings should be very lucky. I have actually seen very small flocks before. “But when such an armada rushes through the district!”
The photographs show beautiful forest birds with gray-brown plumage. They have a characteristic crest on their heads, the tips of the wings are decorated with yellow, white and red stripes. The pictures show how birds sit in a row on telephone wires and flocks pounce on trees with berries.
“This is the army! After such a raid, not a single berry will be left,” the townspeople say.
“Russian parrots. Near it is impossible to take your eyes off, ”users admire.
“In the area of Composers Street, they fly into our yard every year at this time in huge flocks – literally for a couple of days,” recalls a resident of the Vyborgsky district.
Shared photos with waxwings and residents of the Frunzensky district – the birds did not leave the street trees without attention.
But residents of the Krasnogvardeisky district complained that waxwings usually do not fly to them – only fieldfare thrushes.
