Carless Birding

With no car and no offers of a lift from the massive convoys of Axe Birders who've been to see it I'm afraid I can't join in the Pallas's fest which is a shame. However, by cycling locally I've stumbled upon a bird or two that might give Pallas's a run for its money aesthetics-wise. Chief amongst these would be the Firecrest ( or possibly 2 ) that's been frequenting the St. Gregory's Church area South of Seaton Marshes car park. I also had this pale-legged Chiffchaff from the Hide which also has a very yellow lower mandible. With rumours of Willow Wblr. overwintering in Devon I got a bit interested in it but I think its primary projection says Chiffchaff. A very aesthetically-pleasing one though...
