Wryneck at Landguard

Back from my short break in Devon Jimmy & I meet up with Brian & set off to Landguard in search of a Wryneck.
We never found the one at Dungeness last week so hope for better luck this time.
It's around 7 am when we arrive & we find the Wryneck within half an hour, it flies out of a bush & drops down about 60 yards away in the open ground to give us great views for a good 10 minutes before flying off not to be seen again for over 2 hours.
We spend over 4 hours here & spend most of the time searching for Pied Flycatcher but although 2 have been reported nobody could find any sign of them but we do get to see another couple of sightings of the Wryneck.
As we walk we see many Linnet a single Redstart a few Willow Warbler loads of Whitethroat + the odd sighting of Lesser Whitethroat & down by the caravan park many Whinchat are seen.
Some familiar faces are here so always nice to catch up with them.Tom & Barry plus a good old talk with people around makes it a very pleasant morning indeed.
Once again Brian the only one us who got a good photo
