Wryneck in Central Cardiff
A rather distant camera phone record shot from David & Mary Webb of the Wryneck in Cathays Park earlier this month.

I wouldn't disbelieve the report for one minute, though it takes little bit of a leap of faith to identify the bird in the photo as Wryneck. Just a few notes and we're in business, so worth chasing up in my view.
Hi Phil, The original photo is quite large and so may not expand too well on many screens, so I thought I'd crop the original a bit and expand it as much as I dare. It's still a bit small in the photo, but it's got to be one. Hasn't it? Not that I'm against the concept of submitting notes, you understand.

The record did come with a few notes on appearance & behaviour - as well as the micro image from the phone cam.
The enlarged cropped image is enough, I can see it is a Wryneck now, job done.
