Migrants arriving, birds posing. Weekly highlights 17/8/2014

It was going to happen eventually, as it does every year. The Swifts leave and then everything else starts coming through (although after a week without any I did see two Swifts on Sunday).  The first Wheatear of the autumn came through the patch on Tuesday, and another on Thursday.  

Ropey shot of cracking bird.

There have been Common Sandpipers kicking about in the distance, but this one was in range length for about 5 seconds.  One shot in focus!




 Amongst the showers I can usually still find Pied Wagtails.  This scruffy little fella was posing a bit on Thursday.





The week nicely rounded off with a session with a Little Egret.  No doubt this will appear on other channels as the days progress...



Some of these photos may, or may not, end up here
