Raggalds Flood:-
Hit the jackpot there John, especially the Whinchats. Some pretty good birds there. Nice Whitethroat shot despite the 'bill' - hope it survives.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what Whitethroat feed on - if its seeds it might struggle.
Perhaps bills are like my finger nails, if so it will be back to normal in a week!
