We headed to West Sussex for the Hudsonian Whimbrel at Church Norton, was a lovely walk up to there from the car park, we then waited for the bird to turn up once located had lovely views through scope, lovely bird and when compared to Whimbrel you can clearly tell the difference. A brilliant Lifer for me and a year tick for Dave.
So nice to see another American bird it had only been a couple of months ago when we saw the Hudsonian Godwit at Somerset.
We then went to Titchfield Haven in Hampshire for the Greater Yellowlegs also a bird from North America as we walking up quite a few people said they were showing well which was making me very excited love the exciting feeling of seeing a new bird and an amazing bird at that, we had superb views through bins and Scope, this bird really stands out even from a distant those yellow legs are just stunning, and the plumage a lovely grey patterned color, slim and elegant look, beautiful bird such a lovely day seeing two rare birds :) and having great views, managed to get a distant record shot of the Hudsonian Whimbrel and got a few photos of the Greater Yellowlegs still distant for my camera, but just seeing the bird was amazing and a lovely day out.
