Barred Warbler

After being around for quite a while , until its tail feathers had re-grown ,the Barresd Warbler made an appearance whilst filling its belly with berries.

,

Certainly worth the wait I think.

Stonechat

Cool and windy day but very inquisitive pair of Stonechats up at the Wetlands kept us entertained for quite a while .

Siskin

 Around for a few days but very dull conditions for taking any pictures. Male and female here together

 This one looks a bit mottled. Juv or just wet I dont know .

Here on their favorite Alder trees in the Crown Car Park

Redstart

Hanging around Cliff Farm

and being very photogenic  a nifty little bird

Redwing

Great numbers have been coming in recent and nice to see again

Redpoll

 Small group of 4 at the North end of Beacon Lane. Quite flighty at times

 but just stood for a while and they put in a nice appearance for us.

Jack Snipe

Common and Jack Snipe together

Amazing how small they look in the hand

Goldcrest

One of my all time favourites.  Never disappoint

Dusky Warbler

A first for us was this Dusky Warbler.

Curlew

Haunting call and then they appeared.

One came a little later and I managed to get a piccy.

BarredWarbler

 This bird has stayed around for quite a while now down by the Warren. Certainly liked the berry bush

Pheasant

Coming back from Sammies Point ,  Kath spotted this Pheasant and got a cracking shot of it
before it jumped off and scurried away. Nicely done.

Chiffchaff

Small influx of Chiffchaff this week. Well worth the slow methodic method for a photo.Going looking for the Dusky at the Dell

Blackcap in the Crown Car park

 One day we had quite a few Blackcap that were quite tolerant and gave us some superb views.A mixture of male and female it was quite a treat.

Water Rail

This was quite comical . Whilst watching the Jack Snipe a Water Rail came from behind and nearly gave the Snipe a heart attack.If anyone ever asks , a Jack Snipe can jump about six foot in the air.

Widgeon

Small flock of Widgeon flying across the Wetlands towards the Humber.

Little Stint

On the Kilnsea Wetlands (thanks to RickS) who found it. My first decent picture of a Little Stint

Hawfinch

 Theres not a lot to say.

Absolutely fab bird. Luckily there was no blood this time.
