The Sligo branch of BirdWatch Ireland is appealing to the public for sightings of Waxwings this winter. These colourful birds are about the size of a starling, and although mostly greyish-buff in colour, their prominent cockatoo-like crest, bright yellow, white and red wing markings and tinkling bell-like calls are very distinctive.
