Summer round-up part 2

Its been a good start to the autumn migration so far, I managed to get to see the Booted Warbler at West Runton, only managed one good image of it though.
Titchwell always gives good value, the Snipe near Island hide presented many good images, as did the Ruff that have been moving through.
Star performer had to be this juvenile Dotterel at Kessingland in Suffolk, I had the bird to myself for at least 3 hours, I laid still on the ground to get pictures of it from a low viewpoint and was gob smacked when it came over and sat in my shadow and dozed for some 15 minutes! as it seemed fearless I used a wide angle lens to get some very different images of it.
As always I cant resist a sunset, this was at Hunstanton, the one below was at Thornham.
I also finally managed to get some shots of Wryneck, not quite what I would like, but after years of getting there just after the bird has been showing well and then getting the briefest of glimpses.......its a start.
