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
