Wanstead Flats - Rustic Bunting

A rare bird hit East London.  Not many of these tend to visit the capital.  Only the second ever for the big smoke.  This is a rare bird, difficult to catch up with.  Perhaps a chancy encounter on the east coast or on the outer isles.

So a full scale twitch ensued.  I for that matter had a leisurely train ride toward the east.

The Rustic Bunting was seen well but not enough for any decent pics.

Nice to see familiar faces, wasn't fussed about a couple of narky ones though.

Wanstead looks like a great site, understandably well used but looks like there's something for everyone there.
