In North America both the Bohemian Waxwing and the Evening Grosbeak are known
as wanderers, in that you can't say from one year to the next (or one day to
the next) whether they'll be in any particular area. Assuming the
Kernbeisser's behavior is similar to the Evening Grosbeak and the Bohemian
Waxwing's behavior is similar in Europe, I'd say it's best to enjoy them while
you can!
