Picked Brian up after he had finished work & head to Vange for the Phalarope that had been there for the last week.
A few people are on site & we are told that the bird is still about, it's soon picked out a long way off but we get really good scope views of the bird, so another year tick & only the second Wilson's that I have seen the other was on the Isle of Wight a couple of years ago.
Brian meets a nice couple from north Wales that follow his blog, always nice to put faces to names.
We spend a few hours looking out over the scrape for any thing else & we see a Little Stint, a few Spotted Redshank, Ruff,Ringed Plover, & a maybe Wood sandpiper.
Before we head home it's off to Wat Tyler to try to spot the Glossy Ibis as it comes in to roost.
It's not to be today but a nice time spent in the hide with some nice people so a good afternoon birding & the third tick of the last few days one being a mega so not a bad few days getting the list moving again.
