Rogue Kingfisher!

Sunday 14 September, 2 Wheatear down Hamilton road on waste ground just N of road, 1 Wheatear on sea wall and then rocks at Ness Pt. At Net posts, a Wheatear on grass and amazingly a Kingfisher heard and then seen flying north over sea wall then headed west over the net posts and my head and appeared to go South again over Whapload road!

Wryneck

On Sat 6 Sept at Benacre sluice, a Wryneck not seen briefly for 7 sec but wait it after 3 hours showed quite well feeding in grass just south off copse by Pit. Up to 4 Hobby flew overhead calling soaring just over our heads, 2 Buzzard also and 10 Wheatear seen here too.

Track to Radar Lodge

On Wednesday 3rd September, after work at a very sunny track along Radar Lodge, together with Danny P, a Spotted Flycatcher perched at the side of some trees and tall weeds either side of the track ahead. A more elusive Pied Flycatche was seen around the Sycamores & Whimbrel heard too.
