PIED FLYCATCHER spotted again at EAST LANE

Whilst taking photos of the Willow Warblers at East Lane on Saturday, I spotted in the corner of my eye something peering at me, it was the lovely little PIED FLYCATCHER perched on a branch to my left.
 
 
 




 

A good end to the week at East Lane

After the Wood Warbler had left East Lane sometime Wednesday evening, it left me a bit flat, but things soon cheered up when my first sightings of WHEATEAR of the coming Autumn season on Thursday.
 


 
Two more turned up on Saturday
 
 


Supporting cast a double jointed MEADOW PIPIT
 



 
 
Decided to look for CORN BUNTINGS but in their usual place there were two Kestrels were hunting, so I scanned the corn and there they were hiding (spot the bird!!!)
