Sounds a good day you had Peter. I thought you would be pushing it doing two big sites in one day. Hope your back is ok.

Wonderful photo's! Wish I could get a Skylark pic like yours, I always end up with a blur and blue sky.lol!

Congrats with your Avocet and super pic of it and that Wheatear pic is splendid!

Enjoy a soak and your evening meal.......Steak tonight?

Actually, we just got home. Left Holt at 6:30pm, decided not to hang around and get home. Back is 99% right now. Thanks re: the Skylark, it did pose nicely while I walked near enough. Seriously let down when I realised it wasn't a Shore though.

I got a similar pic of Mrs. Wheatear too.

Sorry I didn't see this thread in time to offer you any local advice, but it looks like you had a good trip here anyway! And you've both come away with some fine photos - well done!
