We had dipped one on Monday when we shot over to Hornchurch country park after one had been reported there, but when we got there it didn't look right & apart from topping up the sun tan we got nothing out of the trip.
The trip is not to far 60 miles or so. We park in the car park & see a few people over looking the Dell that is by the toilet block, so things looking good but it took another 90 minutes before we got a first sighting of the Wryneck.
It is just a quick glimpse in flight to give us another year tick.
We spend another two hours here & get rewarded when the bird kept flying down to feed on some steps & looked at home till a lady needed to use the steps as it lead to the toilets & that sent the bird flying away.
Before we head for home we get to see the bird fly back to the trees by the steps & as we scan we spot another Wryneck sitting just a matter of inches away, I don't remember ever seeing two together before so a real bonus.
One of the Wrynecks |
Just about spot the second Wryneck |
