( Mega ) Pacific Swift for another lifer.at Trimley Marsh.

With no plans to go anywhere today I get a rude awaking at 5 o'clock telling me Brian is waiting for us in his car to try for the Mega twitch that was at Trimley yesterday it's a Pacific Swift.
Not expecting it to be still hanging about for a second day we still give it ago.
It's only about 70 miles from home, we arrive by 7 o'clock & park up in the only space left as a lot of birders are already here.
It's a long, long walk down to the first hide where the bird had been seen yesterday,a couple of fellows were on the way back, we ask has it been seen, the answer is no sign, we think maybe they had not given it to much time as it was still not  to much past 7 o'clock. so they tell us we are about 1/2 mile from the hide, so with not a lot of hope we carry on down to the hide.
On entering the hide we are told it had just been seen at a distance , so we settle down to scope the area over by some telephone poles & a small gate, this turns out to be a great guide as the bird is picked out again & the shout goes up over the small gate heading towards the poles, this gives us a chance to get onto it for another lifer for us all.  Out side of the hide up on a grass bank we get some better views of it, a nice bunch of people are here today & that adds to the enjoyment for us. The day gets better when Brian gets us a lift back to the car with a helpful volunteer, what a nice fellow. What a great decision to make the trip more in hope then expectation  that paid off for us to see such a mega rarity.
