Birding the edge of France - Ouessant October 2010



Just back from four days on Ouessant island, the opportunity to see a few rarities, such as 3 Yellow-browed Warblers, 2 Siberian Chiffchaffs, a fly-by Richard's Pipit, a Red-breasted Flycatcher, a Common Rosefinch, 3 Pink-footed Geese, but the best was the Red-flanked Bluetail at Pount Salun. Very hard to find, then easily seen, approached, photographed. Hardly moved close to the ground. The following pictures

The robin's bush - the bird is on the picture


Same bush, closer view - again the bird in there, middle of the pic







And the omnipresent sister robin...


I managed to take a few (bad) shots of a Siberian Chiffchaff at Stang Meur present at least 27-29 October.
