The first stop is at Lynford for another go at seeing the Two-barred Crossbill, this is the fourth time of trying for us, but after another two hours there it's still a no go, we see plenty of Crossbill but a no show again it's made worse when after we leave somebody posts them on the pager, a couple of males had turned up they would have been nice to have seen, never mind something to try again for at a later date..
On now to Warham Green as a Red-breasted Flycatcher had been reported there. We find the place & see some people down the bottom of the track & when we reach them they tell us the bird is in the bush in front of us, this time we get lucky as the bird drops down to a lower bush to give us a quick view, we see a few more quick views, then it sits still for a little while to give a much better view,so the year ticks start moving again after the last three weeks of dips, this is also a lifer for us.
Tichwell is the next port of call, we head to Pat's hide & at the viewing mould we see a very nice Jack Snipe, not wanted for a year tick but always nice to see one.
We spend a good few hours walking the site from hide to hide & get to see a good number of birds, a few Snipe, Greenshank, Bar & Black tailed Godwits, Spotted Redshank, also a couple of Little stints give a good show. A good show of Dragon fly help to make it a very pleasant day in the warm weather.
