Red-back: September
St Mary's Island hosted this immature red-backed shrike in September. A very obliging bird.
Sub-alp: September
This sub-alpine warbler performed well at Trow Quarry (Co Durham) on 8th September.
Wheatear: September 2008
Along with all of the scarcitites at Newbiggin on 7th September there was also good numbers of commoner migrants - including tree pipit, whinchat, pied flycatcher, spotted flycatcher and wheater. This bird was photographed in the churchyard at Church Point.
Red-breasted Flycatcher: September 2008
Another photograph from Newbiggin: this stunning male was on the "mound", just west of the golf course. A tricky subject to photograph, always on the move.
