A sudden surge without precedent of Bohemian Waxwings, richly coloured birds, currently occurs in France and the reason why I tell u all is, its found in abundance in our company garden.
This event is serious, because this bird is not here by chance. It's known to announce the large cold and of disastrous news in the popular belief. Bohemian Waxwings come far from the forests of Siberia and Scandinavia. But since the beginning of the winter, the Jaseur Boreal, invade the French Alpine, plains & mountains, in the search of a more lenient temperature and for food. In a migration from Eastern Europe, they arrive by waves initially to Alsace. The ornithologists estimate now their population between 12000 and perhaps 25000 individuals present in Europe. Driven out by the hunger of the Scandinavian and Siberian, These birds move in an erratic way with the favour of bays of winter (wild or in the gardens) which they find on their way. These will be here in France until March to observe them, and from that date on they go up towards their sites of nesting. It's diet grows rich by fruits of winter like apples but in season of reproduction, it is insectivorous and decorates its food of spiders.
In the garden not just these birds were adding color to life, but there were other birds which were wearing colored dress also gives a pleasant viewing experience ;-)
