Yep, I reckon that's them. Quite jolly little things really. Evidently quite rare, except in my back garden. I just hope they leave enough cherries for the resident blackbird. Although he could do with losing a few grams, the big fat cherry-choffling bastard.
Brommers-
They are frequently seen eating the last of the windfall apples earlier in the Winter.
A few chopped up apples will appeal to them. -
Yup, it's funny how unusual birds seem to show up when it snows sometimes...
I remember a flock of waxwings (so cool-looking) choffling on our remaining crab apples one afternoon a few winters ago, and even a snipe ('erm, there's a bird a bit like a kiwi in the garden') hanging around for a few days, digging in the snow. #csb

Like fieldfares, I guess.
