A Night of Contrasts

In light of comments recieved regarding the post about the terek sandpiper I have decided to remove the wording.

Hopefully my point has been made about giving everybody due consideration at the next big bird so we can all watch it, photograph it and enjoy it.

Thank you all for your comments.

Red n' Black

After a very exciting weekend watching Hull City almost do the business against Arsenal, the excitement continued albeit in the more sedate form of scarce spring migrants.

News of a Red-Necked Phalarope came out whilst I was still in London but fortunately it stayed all day and allowed some photos in the late afternoon.

It stayed again today along with a black tern so I headed out again tonight and was fortunate enough for closer views of the RNP including a rather nice wing stretch and also quite close views of the black tern, quite challenging in the late evening sunshine.

Hopefully it might hang around for another crack tomorrow.
