Great shots, Phil, as always!

Little bunting

Amazing shot. Took me five minutes to see the woodcock's eye, but still can't make out the rest of it!

Probable Hume's Leaf warbler found today at 2.45pm on Rodwell Trail in Weymouth, just south of Wyke Road next to Old railway platforms. Hopefully still present tomorrow as long as the clear night doesn't encourage it to fly off!

Saw one painted lady at Lodmoor today. Must have been part of the influx.
