Two more Great Days at Landguard

Had a text on Saturday saying 2 Wryneck had been spotted at Landguard, so rushed down and found one but, the weather was awful and the Wrynecks were always distant.
 


 
Late afternoon a WRYNECK was caught in the compound and Justin very kindly brought it down to the back gate so we all could see it released we managed to get some great photos
 


 
Went back on Sunday early to see if I could get some better photos of Wrynecks.
Found two of them in the south of the compound viewable from outside still distant but showing well
 


 
 

 
Then spotted these two together, the one on the left has not been ringed, so as they have ringed two Wrynecks this one is the third of this weekend
