Wryneck: Gunners Park, Essex 12th September 2010
A difficult bird to photograph. There are some Wrynecks that don't give a sod about anyone and feed out in the open on short cropped turf and there are those that a skulkers and difficult to get close to, this one was one of the latter. These pics, above one and following three, were a bonus as it was one of the few times it really did show out in the open.
Wryneck, Toll's Island, St. Mary's , Isles of Scilly 13th October 2010
There were several Wrynecks on the island whilst I was there however this bird was only seen by myself and one other couple. Wrynecks are always great value to see.
