Just back from a brief sortie to Essex.
Lifer Number 195 came in the form of the reported Bluethroat!
Seen flying across the track to a new-ish hide, posing on shrub branch for 2 seconds or so before diving into gully where it went to ground. BirdGuides reporting no further sign today.
Popped into Paxton Pits on the way back. A quiet day at the reserve, although Wigeon, Pochard, Tufted Duck and Mallard on the main lake.
Five to go until I am entitled to that pizza!!!
