I
watched this bird for a total of twenty minutes before 'phoning it in'
to Walsey Hills. Some of the top Norfolk birders got onto it: it was even
observed on the sea at Salthouse. It was on the BBRC list for ten years,
then dropped! Anyone like to tell me why? Especially since
two species of 'Albert' were available in the UK during the Summer of 2007! |

A personal favourite! Always worth seeing - or hearing - ! This individual posed outside Irene Hide at Cley and found its way onto many a list! |

Female Wilson's
Phalaropes are gorgeous creatures: |

At one time, Pendulines were a great rarity: they are even pretty difficult to connect with on their continental breeding grounds. But a run of family groups in Norfolk and Suffolk were seen by many in the 90s: becoming scarce again now, though! |
 |
A cool 1600 miles driving in four days left me almost too exhausted to hold a pencil: nevertheless, the detour to Trimley Marshes on the return journey from a Penzance Pelagic was well worth the effort! |
 |
The ones that
got away! I spent three hours at Horsey (until dusk!) waiting for someone
from Birdline to respond to my phone call. No-one came! Luckily, four other birders shared my vigil and were equally vindicated when a flock was photographed in Holland a couple of days later........... |
