A FLOCK of rare birds have been spotted in
Orford.
Around 50 or 60 Bohemian Waxwing birds were seen
nesting in trees at the junction of Battersby Lane and Forshaw Street.
Warrington Borough Council has said they are attracting
crowds, affecting businesses in the area.
A spokesman said: “The exotically quiffed birds
are drawing a lot of attention from bird enthusiasts and understandably so.
“Unfortunately some local businesses and
residents have contacted us with concerns about the crowds and their behaviour
so we would urge people be respectful of private property when trying to
capture a photo of the birds.”
Other residents have reported seeing the
Waxwings on Milner Street in the town centre.
They does not breed in the UK and most winters
the total population in the country is usually under 100.
