Pied Flycatcher

For a change we thought we would check various points of the south bank of the Humber Estuary that we rarely visit which produced a nice selection of birds including this obliging Pied Flycatcher.

Red-backed Shrike at Cleethorpes

Popped down to see this shrike which proved a good move as the bird performed well catching bees and other insects.  We then ended the day with fish & chips on the sea front.

Icterine Warbler, Burnham Overy

We have just had a wonderful week in North Norfolk on a family holiday which in principle means no birding however we did have one early morning quick trip to the next village to where we were staying to see this extremely tame Icterine Warbler, at times the bird was just too close!
