Ear at Rainham

It seems where ever I've been this week it being Rainham Marshes, Gunners Park, Ingrebourne, work and even our garden, Siskins have been heard calling and seem to be everywhere I go.

A higher number in Kestrels was noted too at Rainham Marshes on Saturday but these seem to be local breeders and were moving the Wheatears about bit and made things a touch harder than normal to photograph.

Due to to distance of the Wheatear I've used the mono- pod on the shot below, which does help out and stops that camera shake that I've been getting lately.
