An unexpected phone call at about 8 o'clock means Brian has managed to get a day off work & we are off to Oare Marsh for the Bonaparte's Gull.
As we pull up at the scrape the first person we meet is John again & he puts us onto the bird right away, always a bonus when you pull up & somebody is on the bird for you.
A good view in the scope but once again a bit far away for my little camera.
So another year tick, looks like things have started to happen for us at last with a good few ticks over the last couple of weeks.
While here a scan of the water shows many Common Sandpipers, Ruff, Dunlin &Avocet all over the place. A quick walk over the other side of the road to try to find a Turtle Dove that I need but still no luck. After spending a few hours here we decide to give Dung a quick visit, turns out to be very much a bad decision as there isn't to much about.
