On the way to Robs I stopped off at Arne (Middlebere) for a lucky sighting of a
STILT SANDPIPER -thanks to a friendly and excellent local birder.
I thought I got a shot of it through the scope but I can't seem to find it! Great views if it through the the scope in the sun.

We camped in the garden of Ian, Robs mate.
We then went to a few sites around the Portsmouth area Pinstead, Farlington, Titchfield Haven, Brownhills in the New Forest, Little Pennington and Blashford teaching a total over 50 species.
Highlights and year ticks being
CURLEW SANDPIPER, GREY PLOVER BRENT GEESE, GREENSHANK, BARNACLE GEESE and
SISKIN
Then at Rob we had a BADGER show and I got my best (and only) shot of one!!!
