Courtesy of a call from Jacques this morning I was able to see and photograph this Tree Pipit he caught which was the definite highlight of a meagre haul in the nets this morning.
A poor image of a Corn Bunting which was part of a flock of at least 18 feeding in the Broome, a scarce bird on The Point.
The superb Serin at Littlestone which was found by Neil Frampton yesterday while he was looking after his grandchild I believe.



Yesterdays stunning male Common Redstart caught by Jacques. once again many thanks for the call.
The blog will be updated as when I can, due to some on going domestic issues at the moment.
