A late morning call from Brian had us heading to our local reserve of Rainham Marshes, hoping to connect with a Wryneck. It had been present yesterday and there had been a constant stream of reports throughout this morning.
We arrived at Rainham around 12 and headed out along the path towards the "shooting Butts". The Wryneck was perched up in its favoured roosting tree. We were told that it regularly flew from this tree down onto the footpath and fed along the edges, but after twenty minutes of watching it in the tree, it flew in the opposite direction and into the adjoining field. Despite several hours of scanning, it was not seen again today.
This was my first Wryneck since 2019, mainly due to covid restrictions.
