A very one sided spectrum at the moment. Unbelievable numbers of Red-legs, the Black Redstart, and astonishingly, five Red Kites over today bringing the total number of Red Kite sightings for the year to 17. Having said that my only year tick of the day was not Red but a
Common Whitethroat. I used this bird to enhance by blossoming reputation as a Warbler photographer extraordinaire as you can see in the third photo down. As for the other photos, one is of one of today's Red Kites, and the others are of one and then four of today's 19 Wheatear on the Airfield. A couple of shots of Red-leg as well. The first photo is of a typically Black Redstart-less Black Redstart song post something I'm getting quite good at (note the Green Sandpiper-less fringes and Little Grebe-less pond). The last photo is of a Black Redstart so Black Redstart fans don't go (stay) home too disgruntled.
