Visit to St. Brides Bay on the 1st. September

We went originally to the Gann but walked around and did not find any birds - except for the usual gulls. Called back in St. Brides and managed a few birds. The first was a linnet - I assume a female:

Taken with my usual kit f8 @ 1/3200sec.

The swallows were gathering on the wires and flying around but they were far too fast for me with the 500mm lens, but two goldfinch did land in front of me. I guess an adult with one young - still begging for food?

Again usual kit f8 @ 1/2500sec.
