Having failed on two occasions to connect with the Wryneck at Dungeness in the past couple of weeks, we decided to head for Landguard NR this morning hoping for better luck with one or both of the Wrynecks reported the previous day. Arriving shortly after first light, we managed to locate one of the Wrynecks after a brief search. One of the birds had been reported with leg rings, but this individual had no rings on either leg. The small group of birders watched the bird feeding in front of a bramble bush before it took flight and headed back towards the compound fence. It seemed to fly and feed in a triangle circuit for much of the morning but would also disappear for periods of time before being refound.

Several walks along the length of the compound fenceline and surrounding areas failed to locate any Pied Flycatchers, but we did manage to find several Whinchats, Whitethroats, Lesser Whitethroats, Wheatear, and single Black Redstart, Redstart, and Willow warbler along with the numerous Linnets.
