Gibralta Point

I had a quick visit to Gibralta Point on Sunday and as I walked round There were one or two birds singing that I hadnt heard before, well I probably have but not noticed. One was a warbler which I thout was a Chiff Chaff which was later confirmed by John H as one of the eastern race thanks John

he was flitting about but I just couldnt get a shot without something in front of him.
I went onto the sand spit and there were lots of knot, dunlin, sanderling, curlew I sat there for about an hour just watching the waders. There were lots of skylarks about and I managed to snap one in flight

    Some cracking photos there, Colin. I've not been there since last summer but 'Gib' is one of my favourite places to visit.

    Well done, Col. I have never been to Gib - maybe one day!You seem to be expanding your horizon's, which is good and should get you some good birds!

    Im loving it Kev. I can see why Gib is your favorite place Dave , I dont think I got the best out of it as I was just wandering. I got into the dunes where i had close contact with curlew and oyster catcher and then I got onto the spit where there were 1000's of waders I was unable to id as I need to get a scope
