Very early start

I woke 04:15 and decided to get up and out then, so was at LFGP by 04:50 after a swift cup of tea, not that there was much to benefit from the early start, 2 LRP. 1 Common Sandpiper, 2 Shelduck, but apart from 4 Common Tern, there was little else to speak of, obviously Cuckoo.

Nothing on BSL and I decided I was tired after all, so went home for a sleep and later went for a try for the Greater Yellowlegs at Titchfield, sadly it flew off 3-5 minutes before I arrived at the hide and no searching at other locations, yielded a positive result.

So on today Sunday, I slept in and got the early call when the Red-backed Shrike was found at BHL, so had a brief but pleasant look at that and got records shots too.
