Wryneck

I’ve been reading on the blog about the wryneck at Llanrhystud, and with increasing disgust at the insensitive and moronic behaviour of certain photographers. I found a sadly dead wryneck on the road just outside New Quay in September 2008, it is now in Cardiff museum – picture attached was kindly sent to me from the museum of the bird after it had come back from the taxidermist!

It was absolutely beautiful and unmarked, I was very lucky to see it at such close quarters but I’d so much rather have seen it alive.
