discovered while looking at the exceptional show of Autumn Ladies Tresses with KT. Its only been 33 years since the last one here, which I missed at the time . We thought it most likely an adult in the field but from photos it appears to show features of 1st year.

05/09/15WryneckWarsash1M Jones
Slightly different perspective. Lovely to see the Wryneck literally on the public footpath today. One photographer was showing the passers-by the bird which seemed to be very happy eating just 10m in front of us. Birds are for all of us. Wonderful to see and seemed very happy to have his photo taken.

Incredible views, beach side of fence. Shame about the imbecile with the camera who insisted on attempting to stand on top of the bird. What is the point of high-powered lenses if you have to get to within five feet? Nevermind, amazing bird.
