Mistle Thrush

Have started to get more visits, into the garden, by a couple of Mistle Thrush. They look really powerful birds and although very wary, will come down for some suet pellets.

Another puzzle

A weekend trip to Leeds gave me the chance to visit Rodley NR and straight away I thought I was looking at a White-Fronted Goose



Until I looked at the white around the eyering




So am assuming its another Greylag googly.
We did catch some nice views of Red Kite



Kingfisher, Reed Bunting and Bullfinch were about.

Identification?

I've tried identifying this little thing which came into the garden this morning but cannot totally convince myself, so would appreciate a bit help.



Update:  With quite a few recent sightings of Siberian Chiffchaff on Birdguides got me wondering about this which had been kindly identified for me by others as Chiffchaff.

Prestwick Carr

Just after midday walked half way along bumpy road where these colourfull creatures brightened the day.




The sun emerged as I returned so a wander up the bridle way was enjoyed. Water lying everywhere presented opportunities to see Wagtails, Pipits, Chaffinch and Goldcrests in good numbers on the ground in the fields
