Dorney Lake walk

 I decided to take a walk along the causeway at Dorney Lake during a period of strong SW winds.  I was hoping for a wind blown vagrant but not really expecting too much!  What I wasn't expecting was this Wheatear which is one of the latest dates for the species in the county.  At first it was associating with three Stonechats but later on it's own.

Wheatear - A very late date for this species in the county.  A digiscoped image.
Wheatear - Taken 90 mins later when walking back. 
Taken with a handheld Panasonic micro4/3 camera.

Wheatear - A lucky shot!



This Pipit was hiding in the grass for a time.  
When it moved into the open it was clearly a Meadow Pipit


Roe Deer - There were nine present in total.
