Blue Tit, Lochwinnoch
Sat in my portable photo hide for over four hours in freezing temperatures waiting (in vain) for the lesser whitethroat to appear. It had been seen about two hours before I arrived, but I expected it to reappear at times. It is one of the eastern races and could have come from as far away as Siberia. Not the subspecies curucca that breeds in the UK.
It definitely was not my hide putting it off as there were plenty of other birds visiting the feeding station area and so I had a good time anyway. There's always tomorrow.
I quite liked this blue tit perched up on an isolated shrub
