Whimbrel, Wheatear and Whitethroat!

 Over the last few days, down here in Suffolk, I've seen a few birds, including the three species listed in the title.

The first bird, Whimbrel (182), was found on Walberswick NNR , whilst "dipping" the Zitting Cisticola!

The next bird, a Northern Wheatear, was seen today, on Aldeburgh beach. Its always great to see this species on migration. I even managed to spot it catch a grasshopper!

The last bird, Whitethroat, was a juvenile bird, that was spotted in the hedge of the garden where we're stopping. At first, it was quite skulking, but then it popped out and posed beautifully. This photo was taken through a glass window.
