I was chatting on the telephone to my friend Dave Stone yesterday evening after I had just returned from Yorkshire…..I had photographed Twite there by the way….. Dave asked me if I had seen his photograph of lesser Whitethroat? This is not a bird I have seen very often and I certainly haven't photographed one before so I suggested that I meet him in the early morning today and we would go and see if we could find it again to get a photograph. I am glad to say that we were successful and I am grateful to Dave, in my opinion a brilliant birder. We traced it by call and and when it perched on an elder tree in the open for just a few seconds, I managed to get a photograph. I can now add yet another species to my Devon Bird Gallery which now numbers 205 different species. I have some notable absentees from the gallery such as Wryneck, Puffin, Yellow Browed Warbler and most of the Skua species so I am confident to get to 250 eventually.
