Twite

Four of us made a trip up to Somerset today to try and see the birds around Breen Down , with our first stop being at Breen Down Farm to look for some reported Twite a bird that is not seen very easy in the South West of Britain , and we were lucky enough to see four of them and I managed to get this shot of one showing the nice pink rump , I know its not a great shot but it is the first time that I have managed to photograph one making it 813 different birds photographed in the world so it was great day for me !
Out on the Axe Estuary Saltmarsh 3 Short-Eared Owl`s were nice birds for the day and also seen in the area were Peregrine Falcon , Eurasian Sparrowhawk and a female Western Marsh Harrier and as we were walking back to the car a smart Black Redstart was showing around the houses in Breen Down Cove .
