Wryneck at Mynydd Gellionen

A record shot of the Wryneck at Mynydd Gellionen found by Barry Weston yesterday afternoon. I missed it by 10 mins yesterday and saw it at distance briefly earlier this morning having been relocated by Graham Roblin. It was searched for without success for 3 hours before reappearing around 12:45. It showed reasonably well at distance for about 45 mins until 13:30 when it was left feeding in in thick scrub.
Congratulations go to Barry Weston on finding such a nice bird on local patch, which has been enjoyed by a few today.
