| Birding Highlights 2003 |
| August 2003 |
| Citrine Wagtail, Kelling, Norfolk |
The immature bird is definitely not as colourful as the stunning, lemon-yellow adult, but what it lacks
in colour it makes up for in rarity value.

| Greenish Warbler, Reculver, Kent |
I strayed off my usual "home patch" of East Anglia to take up the challenge of photographing this
highly mobile warbler down in Kent! After about 6 hours at the Greenish Warbler site, a bit of luck
came my way and the bird showed just about long enough for me to point the camera at it, focus and
press the shutter.

| Red-footed Falcon, Wicken Fen, Cambs |
This immature male visitor to Wicken Fen was also quite mobile , but eventually settled within range,
after spending long periods hunting the numerous dragonflies on the reserve .
