Nice Find

Wryneck

Sunday was a day of trying to find any lingering migrants, it started by looking for Little Stint at Seaton Carew, but they had moved on, a visit to Saltholme was unproductive. At Dormans Pool we stopped for a quick look and initially it looked very quiet so we were about to give up when we both noticed a bird fly into a bush at the top car park, a quick look with the bino's revealed a Wryneck sitting out on a branch!!! Unfortunately it flew into cover, we alerted the local birding fraternity and after several members turned up the bird was briefly relocated and was seen by a few on about 3 occasions before flying into cover and was not located again. A nice find on an otherwise quiet day.
