Another few year ticks on the Peninsula but a massive, massive miss! Nine Common Cranes left all but the lucky few regulars weeping into their alcohol-free beer (in my case anyway!), one of the rarest and most wanted species on the Peninsula flew over the Ferry, North Wall and Medmerry and despite hopes there was no sign the day after (Sunday), gutted by this one but we live to twitch another day...just...☺
A Purple Sandpiper at the Bill was scant consolation, a Firecrest was at Apuldram (or Appledram if you prefer) and two Dartford Warblers were opposite Flint Barn. A bike ride looking for Cranes (!) turned up a good flcok of Golden Plovers and a Corn Bunting near Wilson's Farm.
