Hope you enjoy (it's quite long!)

Thanks Jack... The Portland Bird Observatory had posted about a plethora of yellow waggies and whinchats in their newly ploughed fields the day before 50% newbie count isn't bad lol, just a shame the pics weren't as good as I'd hoped

Thanks Snappy, and
well done with your tern For the terns I managed to shelter round the side of the bridge, and they were slowed right down flying into the wind.... When they decided to deviate they were gone in a blink... The pros and cons of windy conditions right there lol

Well might have been windy but I think that played into your hands. cracking photos -love the YW - they are great little birds - I'm more used to seeing them in September when they are on the move South
