Melverley Green - Black intruder

A fleeting park, snap and run to check out the Whoopers at Melverley Green and all were still present and correct!! 23 in total with 3 Mutes and a kinda ugly duckling in the shape of a rogue Black Swan! Now they know he's different and he knows he's different but that didn't stop him being on the wrong end of a peck or two









We didn't see a single 'Fieldwing' during the trip up North. No shortage here with some impressive mixed flocks of 200+. One obliging Redwing popped up onto the hedge to see what I was up to....













And if you haven't had a Brambling this year? Don't forget the feeder station at VP - at least a couple of fine birds on show.......













Off to Norfolk now for my January weekend session - you can expect a pic or two on my return!
