Another early start in search of migrants. A few warblers about along the bushes but not in any quantity....
 |
| A juvenile Whitethroat in the hawthorn...no shortage of berries this year! |
....and then a Sedge Warbler on the top of a bush...
 |
| ...or is it? When I saw this on the screen I had second thoughts...any thoughts anyone? |
|
On to Macrocarpa copse where a Heron was having trouble with the local Corvidae...
He stood his ground and eventually they pushed off!
 |
| Teal....included because I like the colour of the water! |
...and then on the return 5 Whinchats were showing well on the fence the other side of Breach Pool.
The highlight though was meeting Andy House who had spotted a distant WRYNECK!! Sitting quite still in a Hawthorn but highlighted by the sun...much too far away for even a record shot....but a really good bird to see! Thanks Andy (and for peering through your X60 Swarowski!)
p.s. Yesterday evening at 6.10 pm 5 Brent Geese flew over the bungalow and headed for the harbour....my first of this Autumn.
