The first Wryneck of the year was the highlight found early morning at the end of the car park in the closed off staff and volunteer's car park. It showed well occasionally until early afternoon but there was no further sign.
Super thrilled to find a #Wryneck on #DawlishWarren #Devon this morning, quite mobile and elusive, still around when I left at 13.15pm pic.twitter.com/J0eI58w0NO

Those waiting for a view also found the first Pied Flycatcher of the year, just the 22nd record since July 2004 so rarer than the Wryneck which was around the 31st record in the same time period. Also in the same area six Chiffchaff, a Blackcap and overhead a Peregrine and an Osprey.
