Three lifer's in one day in march 2012

After seeing a reported Rose-Coloured Starling on bird guides Jimmy get's a call from Brian to meet at a silly time in the morning. Off we go to hant's and arrive after a couple of hour's we are in Hordle and locate the post office where the bird has been reported. There are a lot of birder's here, but nobody has seen it yet. We spread out to give ourself a better chance, as alway's Brian call's out he's found it starting a mad rush by the horde, you don't realize how many birder's are here until the bird is called.A really nice bird with great long view's of it. Now off we go to Pagham harbour to get the Paddyfield Warbler, we went down to get it last week, it was the coldest day of the year and I mean cold, there was a lot of  birder's there then and nobody got a sighting, The feeling was it had died because of the cold.but it came up on bird guide's again during the week so here we are again.maybe a hundred birder's are here but not a sign of it. we hang about for 3 hour's or more no luck, so we have had enough and set of along the bank to go, For some reason we take one last look back and see all the people running down to one spot, so back we go and and there is the Paddyfield Warbler we all get a view, so we tick another lifer being there so long we get talking to a few other birder's who tell us to go to Worthing to see a Yellow-Browed Warbler. We get direction's and head for the Swan pub where the bird has been seen. We park up and find a small public garden and set ourself down to wait. After a short wait another birder call's from the other side of the road,over we go and sure enough it's there a great little bird we all get really good view's of it. Not bad 3 lifer's in one day.
