Middleton Lakes - Wheatear

Had a lovely day we popped to Wishaw where there was Skylark everywhere never seen this many before there must of been 50+ if not more, lovely birds.
We then went to Middleton Lakes was quite there but there was two showy Wheatear's managed to get some photos of the one but struggled with the light, but just lovely seeing them beautiful birds, and even though I have seen alot of them now it is still a pleasure every time, as much as I love twitching birds and going to different places, I will always love local birding it's pleasurable looking for your own birds even if you only see common ones it's always enjoyable going out looking :)

 

Warwickshire Lowlands- Spotted Flycatchers and more

Had a brilliant morning we decided to do some bird watching on the Warwickshire lowlands we had at least 3 Spotted Flycatchers, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 20 + Skylarks and 3 Yellow Wagtails.
We were hoping we would find a Redstart but no luck but was so much fun finding are own birds and always a pleasure seeing Spotted Flycatcher. Also got my first photos of  Painted Lady Butterfly :)
