A Bird in the Hand is Worth Any Number in the Bush...

There has been a mini-influx of Wrynecks on the east coast & a little further inland after a series of easterly winds.  I was 10 minutes too late this morning to see the bird ringed at Spurn Point.  Luckily, Vince was there & he's happy to share the pictures on this site
