Just coming back from a quiet Quendale when i saw a bird on the road near the cattle grid at Hillwell
as i got closer i could make out it was a Wryneck
It jumped onto the lower bar of the gate then into the field but didn't fly
I had the camera on the passenger seat so it opened the window and managed to get a few photos before a car came passed and it flew up onto the wall then headed south over a field towards the mill
It was not seen by anyone else, so it goes to show you have to be in the right place at the right time.
Yesterday at the same spot a Pallid and hen Harrier passed by heading south, missed by most people
We are now starting to get invaded by birders from the south, some expecting around 500 people
Just hope they dont cause as many problems as last year
Looking forward to more good migrants, down south there has been several American warblers but no so far here.
