Pied Flycatcher at East Hills, Wells
Not one of my best shots, but captivates the afternoon!
A little trip out to East Hills this afternoon with John Furse, Eddie Myers and Richard Webb in very gloomy but 'rare' north easterly winds, produced a Red-backed Shrike, Pied Flycatchers everywhere, we estimated 12+, Redstart, Whinchat, Stonechats, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Kestrels x 2, Wheatears x 2, Wren, Swallows, House Martins, Curlew, Black-tailed Godwits x 4 and a Plume Moth. After much searching there was no sign of Mike Buckland's Greenish Warbler that he had found this morning. I ripped a large hole in my trousers on a sharp twig in the sycamore glade, which was very annoying!

I didn't get any pictures of this bird, but John very kindly allowed me to use his photo for my post

The drive home was horrendous with torrential rain, thunder and lightening – most roads were flooded. Lots of wet gear to sort out when I got back. It felt so good to be out birding again. What an amazing fall of birds today in Norfolk!!! Six Greenish Warblers were found in the county, wow!
