    Great afternoon at Burton Mere. Cattle Egret from the reception hide at 2.30, which was great as I'd walked down to the IMF hide to see it there but it had gone. Still, that meant I got the Red necked Phalarope, Pectoral Sandpiper, Ruff and Dunlin. Also Bar-tailed Godwit and two Little Stint...

    Oh yes, I'm well aware of the sensitivity. At no point did I disturb any birds. The Sparrowhawk, Peregrine and dog walkers did that for me. Had a great morning though, and there really is no need to get too close. Good bins do the job for you.:t: http://www.ajonestheearlybirder.blogspot.com
