Black-Winged Stilts at Middleton Lakes

Such an exciting day we started the day at Middleton Lakes picked up Grasshopper Warbler, love that reeling sound and such lovely birds.
We then decided to go to Cannock Chase we hadn't been driving long when Dave got a text saying there had been two Black-Winged Stilts reported at Middleton Lakes but as we had only just left there and they wern't there when we were there, we thought it might be someone who was mistaken, so we carried on to Cannock Chase, had only been at Cannock ten minutes and sore my first Common Redstart it was showing very well, had lovely views stunning bird with that orange rump and black face stands out so much, also had nice views through bins of Tree Pipit, we also heard a Cuckoo but never sore it, had a Moth lifer too, orange underwing, beautiful moth :)
Then Dave got another text saying that the Black-Winged Stilts were confirmed and still there, so we dashed back to car and drove back to Middleton Lakes such an exciting but nerve wracking experience worrying incase they had gone by the time we got there, but they were still there.
Totally amazing birds those long legs they look so elegant but so fragile, the male was black and white and the female more of a browny and white, feel so honoured to have seen them my first Local Twitch :)
