Passerines: Thrushes & Warblers
Grey-cheeked Thrush, St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly - October 2008
Yet another Grey-cheeked Thrush year however this bird did show very well at times so I'll let it off. Click here to see more images of this bird.
American Robin, Rowesfield, Tresco , Isles of Scilly, October 2006
The undoubted highlight of the weeks long trip was this excellent Scillies tick. More of this bird here

Fieldfare, Vange Wick/Fobbing Marsh, Essex 31st January 2010
Whitethroat, Fleet Head, Great Wakering, Essex - 15th May 2008
Whitethroat, Gunners Park 18th April 2009
If he wasn't in dense brambles he was at the top of the nearest pine tree, tricky seems to be the game this year.
Dartford Warbler, Dunwich Heath, Suffolk 25th April 2009
Often mostly out of range of the camera lens the above bird was by far the closest bird on the day though it only stayed put for less than ten seconds whilst the bird below sat out singing constantly for fiften minutes but well away form the path, frustrating but cracking little birds.
Blackcap, Two Tree Island, Essex 10th April 2011
Rather pleased with the outcome of this shot as the light was at an angle
