Brown Hairstreaks & Holly Blues and a Wryneck too

After dipping the Zitting Cisticola at Climping (well not managing to find it the next day if that's dipping) and also missing the Church Norton Wryneck a couple of times, I resolved to give the Wryneck one last go on Friday morning with limited success. The bird showed close and quite well...for about one minute before making itself scarce although it did apparently show better later on. A showy Wryneck is surely overdue! Also at CN, at least three Holly Blues on the path to the hide.



Wryneck, note how it is perfectly framed to avoid the head, tail & front of the bird. ffs.:
