Invasion!

I have to admit to a bit of panic when I realised this mornings thrush invasion was underway and I was at home. I had committed to doing some work on the garden pond and was determined to press on.
However whilst looking down trying to decide which pond plants to thin out I was amazed to see as a reflection, in the pond, of a large flock of thrushes passing above me. Many more were to appear.
One huge flock stretched from eastern skyline to western.
Magic.
I guess this could  be one of them.

Panic over

With an increasing sense of panic that I alone would be the only soul not to have seen the Roker Olive-backed Pipit I went visiting this morning. Even after all the pin sharp pics seen to date it is without shame I offer--

...........and as a bonus a Lesser Whitethroat in a bush on the opposite side of the road. Thanks Steve.

Druridge Bay

There were good numbers of Sanderling along the edge of the surf today

Puzzle

I can't quite make up my mind on the identification of this one seen at East Chevington this afternoon.

Any ideas will be appreciated

Now understand its a Chiffchaff

Shore lark

While at East Chevington this afternoon, I saw on twitter that a Shore lark had been spotted at Druridge earlier in the day. So thought I'd give it a go.
Owwer the moon as they say.
