LESSER WHITETHROAT (STITHIANS RES) 12/11/2014

Popped up to Stithians Res this morning to try and catch the Lesser Whitethroat that has been there for the last couple of days.
After a couple of hours not seeing it I was just about to leave when I saw a small bird drop into the conifer nearest the road.
Still could not locate it at first, then it appeared low down and I saw it was the Whitethroat, managed to get a couple of shots when a squall of wind sprang up and I lost it again.
After around 30 mins I was about to leave again, and peered over the fence from the road and there it was sitting in a bush sunning itself. So I spent a further 20 mins taking some shots of it, as these are the first images I've got of one.
So in the end patience paid off.

PAINTED LADY ( SANDY COVE NEWLYN ) 09/11/2014.

Not had much to post lately as I have not been out due to the foggy wet windy conditions over the last couple of weeks.
Still I did manage to get out this morning for a few hours,and although I took a few bird images for some reason they were all rubbish and not worth processing,so a few more for the trash can.
But did come across this Painted Lady Butterfly which was a  real pleasant surprise as its so late in the year, and was totally unexpected.
So at least the morning was not a complete washout.
