Grey-cheeked Thrush

A stunning little bird that showed well several times on one of the tracks, i managed to get scope views but it was to distant for Digi scoping and the light was not good, i managed a few seconds of very shakey video and got these two as grabs off the tape.

With the sun behind the bird i was really pleased to get these two shots, though i did take twenty odd.

Despite a better day still not a good subject for digi scoping, very active and mobile this morning as well as being to close to the wall.

RED NECKED GREBE

Reed Warbler

As i walked through rank grass at Boultham Mere this recently fledged Reed Warbler flew up onto my arm, i put it back on the reeds and within seconds both parent birds were around me, i quickly took this picture then moved away the parents then carried on feeding the young bird.

Puffin

After spending three hours trying to get a Puffin picture this one eventually sat out in the open but only long enough for these two quick shots.

Woodchat Shrike

After a very slow spring in Lincolnshire the lure of a Woodchat and a Red Backed Shrike in our own county was to good to miss, both birds showed really well all evening, though the Red Backed was distant
