It's a Twite, also known as the Pennine Finch, so it is appropriate that this photo was taken in the Pennines just a couple of miles from my house where we used to get them in the garden feeding on dandelion seeds. Things have changed drastically since those days and we're lucky to get a few breeding pairs here now.
Here is a more usual view of the same bird once it had finished shaking its head.
Grasshopper Warbler - 2, reeling
Reed Bunting - 5
Common Sandpiper - 2
Black-headed Gull - 2
Skylark - 9
Meadow Pipit - 6
Stonechat - 1
Linnet - 4
