Poking around at the weekend, I managed to find a Nightingale
that sang a few chook-chooks in Coronation Pit before I played my phone at it
and got a full long repertoire of song. Nice SFYT and always fantastic to
listen to, if not to look at. For good looks though you can’t do much better
than a male Whinchat, unfortunately one seen on Tuesday was a bit distant as
one of two found while twitching a bird reported by Dave Odell, (not having
that one as a SFYT). Then, and a similar stunning looker, I found a stonking male
Redstart on Pegsdon this evening which showed really nicely feeding in the sun and
giving me the opportunity to capture an image worthy of this blog with bins in one hand,
camera in the other and both a foot in front of my face…
I love chats.
Action shot! Perfect for the SFYL blog...
ReplyDeleteI think 'the police' would have come down hard on that Whinchat...............
