Whimbrel stays another day

The Whimbrel stayed today, allowing quite a few more people to see it and I enjoyed opportunties for better viewing and photography of the bird. Second prize today went to the Red Kite which Nick Gardner picked up and kindly called me about, and in no time it was flying just over tree-top height quite near me allowing for my clearest shots of the species at the patch so far. Also a male Wheatear, a Swallow and a Fieldfare.
