After seeing the photos on Birdguides etc of the juv Red-necked Phalarope at Fairhaven lake,Lancs i decided to head north a quick divert into Stoke to pick up my good mate Steve Seal & we were off! on arrival there was a good crowd watching the bird & despite the constant updates on the phone txt alerts saying 'the bird is showing very well' It wasn't & stayed distant in the 4 odd hrs we were there!! It was nice to catch up with some of other photograper friends from around the country Jim Almond,Gary Jenkins,Mike Watson etc highlight of the day however goes to the 2 well known photographers who after a little encouragement from Steve hired a motor launch out to see if they could get any closer!! Classic stuff but you had to be there to see it!!! (best photo i could manage is above with a cpl below)
