Another year and another trip to one of my favorite hides from Glenn Vermeersch. I'd planned the trip a little later this time and missed the wild flowers flowering, but got extremely lucky to get multiple sighting of the Eurasian Wryneck. What a stunning bird! No luck with the Goldfinches yet, but we keep trying...
