Black-winged Stilt at Vange Marsh RSPB

Having missed last weeks Stilts at Bowers & Vange Jimmy & I are pleased to see that 4 Black-Winged Stilts are reported at Vange this morning & we head off straight away.
It's only around 30 miles from home & we get a nice clear run so we are soon looking at another year tick when we pick them out within minutes of arrival.
There are 4 birds here but we only picked out 2 of them as the other two are round the bend we are told by some other birders.
Jimmy also picks out 2 Common Snipe & a Jack Snipe not needed for a tick but always nice to see one bobbing away. So a nice start to the weekend for us a real bonus.
