jigger Mr Packham... I'm sure Mr Flower would like it for a much better calendar.
More than welcome if he is interested ...

Got there a bit later and was a bit luckier than you Tony, walked around to the back pool and saw the Gropper then some commotion on the Car Park was caused by this bird feeding on Ants at the bottom of one of the large posts around the park (Excuse pics but I've only got a compact).
Cheers Joe
Joe you jammy beggar, never mind the quality of the shot, you saw the bird. Its a lifetime ambition of mine to spot a Wryneck and I've never managed it. Good for you.

A good variety of waders at Swilly this morning (needed help finding some of them mind) with barwit, wood and common sandpipers, greenshank, whimbrel, ringed and little ringed plover, turnstone, dunlin, avocet, ruff, oystercatcher, redshank and many lapwings. With my first definite arctic terns and other year ticks of swift and garden warbler it was well worth the visit.

Always more to learn
The Ring Ouzel was still in the cemetery at 6.45am seen by Andrew Tongue - just waiting to see if it has its evening wash & bath!

Birds, burgers and buffoonery!
I thoroughly searched it between 7.45 and 9 am without success, plenty of Blackies tho. Which part was it in at 6.45, does it have a favoured area?

Got the groppers tonight and a meadow pipit doing a very good tree pipit impersonation, 'parachuting' into a tree canopy. If it had kept it's mouth shut I'd have been totally fooled. No barn owls though, but we'd didn't stay very long, only an hour or so from 7.15.

On Sunday it was in the cut grass on the left hand side, about 100 yds in just past the first path

Sleddale - Osprey flew NE at 12h20. 7-8 Wheatears, 1 Whinchat, 1 Oystercatcher plus Curlew, Lapwing, Meadow Pipit, Red Grouse and Kestrel. Also Redstart and Pied Fly when out and about.
Danby Beacon - no Dotterel today, only Red Grouse, Pheasant and Meadow Pipit. No Curlew or Golden Plover about which seems strange.

red-backed shrike?? Flamborough 2/5/11
second pic added - again not good but having problems with getting stills off video on pc so having to use the tv and take a photo!
anyway thanks in advance
Hi - not very good pic (long story involving stills off video via the tv rather than the pc!
However these were seen in the gorse bushes in the ravine just off the top end of the north landing car park at Flamborough yesterday afternoon.
(I have more pics which I can upload later today if this would help anyone)
See what you think, they were in the tops of the gorse.
thanks in advance

Bit hard to tell from that photo, however there are quite a few of linnets around that ravine (Holmes Gut) so could be a pair?

Look like whitethroat.
Fantastic early morning walk at Bolton Abbey yesterday. Lots of dipper activity at a number of different points between Barden Tower and the Cavendish Pavillion and excellent views of pied flycatcher and wood warbler right by the footpath in a couple of different locations either side of the river. Four drake mandarin and my first garden warblers of the year made it all very worthwhile! Dipped on redstart which was a pity but I suppose it is still quite early...
