Only a 15 minute drive away, so as soon as it's posted on bird guides that the Blyths had been seen earlier, Jimmy & myself head to centre road in Wanstead, on arrival many birders are already on site.
A couple of people had got a very quick sight of the bird over an hour ago, but most people have only heard it.
We spend over 5 hours here & apart from one quick sighting low in the bushes all we get is to hear it on & off tempting us to hang about in the hope of getting a really good view of this lifer.
Standing with Neville we hear the bird in the bush just a few feet away from us, but could not get a clear sight of it, very frustrating.
A phone call to Brian See's him turn up after work but like the rest of us it's only the call he gets.
Nice to see so many old face's here, so time to catch up with them, some we have not seen for a long time, so that helps to pass the time.
