Wrecked Wryneck

A quite unusual find by a local man near the dam of Blaen Y Cwm reservoir on Llangynidr moor on the Gwent/Powys border. This bird was probably heading down the west coast of the UK from its Scandinavian breeding grounds when the current weather system swept it inland. It looks to be surviving OK, hiding from the inclement weather in and around some old coils of fencing wire. Once the weather breaks I hope it will be safely on its way again down to tropical Africa.
I managed to get a shot of the bird inside a coil of wire, in between very strong gusts of wind and heavy rain showers.
