Flying from the crop by the Puffin Hotel back to the crop at Nedder Taft
I got a few rubbish record shots of Black Redstart, Stonechat & Whinchat but they are not worth showing as is the photo above or below. but if I don't show them? the other birdwatchers always "question" anything they have missed as something I may have misidentified... cheeky but true.

| Whinchat |

Very late record... Stonechat
With the time of year and winds from the east? I so wanted this to be Eastern or Siberian Stonechat... though it does have a very large white patch or collar? the breast seems much to orange for that. |

Bramblings - lovely birds.....and I really like your photo of the Yellowhammer all fluffed up and crest alert!
ReplyDeleteNice way to finish your post Tommy with a sunset.
Best bird of the day for me yesterday at Barnes - a Common Redpoll!
It actually stayed on the same part of the tree for enough time for even me to get a photos (mind its the new clever camera really!)

Good Birds, Some Good Photos, I find your Record shots of birds really interesting of which puts identification skills to the test.

The above photos are for you to compare, The Wheatear looks strikingly the same.
Good attempt!
I love how you share practical advice that I can actually use in my daily life.
