A tweet from IR that it was getting brighter and I decided to head for Chev. As I pulled in front of the gate I could hear the Teal noisily displaying. A quick scan soon had the Green-winged Teal in the scope. No doubt the Druridge bird, sorry IR.
You'll notice from the photo it wasn't very bright but a walk to the beach and the cobwebs fully blown away time for home and the Chelsea match.
Highlight of the morning was this Bearded tit. Managed 2 grab shots before it disappeared into the reeds. A Th saw the bittern on the S pool today.
East Chevington
Whooper swan, Slavonian grebe, Black-tailed Godwit and Pintail were the supporting cast today.
The star was the Glossy Ibis very close to the road at Lynemouth
A grey day! It brightened up at the end with the target bird in the bag. Visits to Lynemouth, Cresswell, Druridge and Chev failed to find the Ibis reported yesterday.
A call from A Co at dusk and a quick dash to Lynemouth and the Ibis was there. It must have been tantalisingly close on the three visits I made earlier in the day.
I hope the birder from the Borders eventually caught up with the bird. Earlier she rescued a sheep stuck in the brambles after checking the path to Walkworth Lane.
Apologies for the rubbish photos but it was another good days birding.
Just found some of the disadvantages of phone blogging. You can't edit posts easily, so when the phone predicts text and puts in odd punctuation I can't change it without the laptop. My laptop connection ends soon so apologies for future mistakes they will be rectified when I can access a computer.
