Little Bunting lifer 301

An unexpected opportunity to see another lifer in quick succession lead to a visit to Bedford - Great Barford by the river, feeding on seed put down by local birders. 
After about 30 mins I managed to see and get a record shot (with my canon compact camera) of a LITTLE BUNTING
Slightly small in the image, but the pale stripe above the eye and beard as well as the reddy brown crown are shown quite well. 
A great few days on the life list, now at #301
#77 for the year

College Lake with Harry

A weekend visit to the ressie with Harry - nothing new to be seen for the year but always nice to see Harry pointing to the birds and signing 'bird'!
A great sight to see Harry with the binos!!
