Woodlark

With yesterdays dense fog continuing throughout today, it was again a struggle to find birds with the visibility so poor, and whilst numerous thrushes were still coming in-off their numbers were greatly reduced today.
 
Birds which were seen however included a couple of Black Redstarts on the lighthouse, a single Willow Warbler, plus a few more Bramblings, Reed Buntings and Chiffchaffs.
 
Highlight of the day though was a Woodlark which took up temporary residence in the car park at West Runton before eventually flying off high to the south. The gloom was far from conducive for photography but I still managed a couple of shots to record what was only the second Woodlark that I've seen on the patch following the one at Sidestrand last December.
