Galley Bunting photos

The (stick me neck out!) black-headed bunting showed well first thing this morning, then again at 10.45 and then 14.00, largely disappearing in between. Hot news of the day was a 1st winter/female type golden oriole found in a nearby garden, before it booted off inland. An icterine warbler in the pines at shite lane was probably the bird from Friday, although could have been new? Not much else around, a couple of wheatears, and the odd willow warbler and chiffchaff booting about, and crowds of twitchers! Galley has become a self-perpetuating hot spot for rares - happy days!
