Eastern Olivaceous Warbler at Farlington Marshes

On Saturday around lunch time Brian calls have we seen that a lifer had been seen in Hampshire but he couldn't go till Sunday, so we arrange to meet at 5 am & get a trouble free run down the A3 to Portsmouth.
As we pull into the car park the pager tells us the bird had been seen & 5 minutes later we meet up with the Moreton brothers & they put us onto the bird to give us all a nice lifer.
The Olivaceous Warbler showed well as it fed on bushes around where we first saw it.
We spend a couple of hours with the bird getting some great views of it.
Off now to Warsash where a Bluethroat had been seen .
We have dipped at this place before & it proved to be the case again when we give up after getting no sign of it & some birders had been looking for over 4 hours one being Graham J & he had given up so we followed & left to travel to Pulborough Brooks for the Red-necked Phalarope.
On arrival we are told it's a long walk down to Jupps view platform,it's a fair old walk but we find the Phalarope as soon as we arrive so the long walk well worth it for another year tick.
So 5 year ticks one a lifer in the last week is not bad.
