Alpine Accentor

Above: Minsmere, Suffolk (April 2002)

Well not quite! Having specifically been asked by Geoff Welch (Senior Reserve Manager at Minsmere) not to leave the path, many birders did just that in order to get close to the 'Acc'. Such behaviour is unacceptable. It really doesn't help the twitching image, and is completely unhelpful to the good staff at Minsmere. So, having stuck to my principles and stayed on the path - too far away for a decent pic.- I've substituted what I might have got with this one from Majorca.
