RBS didn't let me down!

August 20th at Carr Naze: saw 2 wrynecks at once perched on the same dead branch! Distant however so photo is quite poor. Icterine warbler there too but not seen by me. Wryneck

Friday 21st August took me to Hummersea above Skinningrove. I met Renton Charman there - a well-known local photographer with a nice big lens! I told him we needed to go down the steps towards the beach as the pager suggested the 'second bench' as a good viewpoint. Other birders came into view as we descended. And as the title of this posting goes, the RBS didn't let us down! Here it is - adult male!

Twigs could be a problem!

Messing with a few photos from Thornwick Pool on 16.08.15 I though I'd include them in as Sam Goldwyn used to say!
