A txt from Archie this morning asking if I fancied a few hours out locally had me gathering my gear & heading off meeting up & swapping into his twitch mobile!! 1st port of call was Brownhills W.Mids for the Glossy Ibis which had been present for a cpl of weeks!! The bird performed really well & thanks to the Stables owner we were allowed into his field to watch the bird at close quarters also several Red Deer appeared in the field before quickly disappearing into the undergrowth!! Next stop Stubbers Green for the ad Iceland Gull then breakfast followed by Gailey Res for the Great Northern Diver & Great White Egret before doing the roost at Chasewater adding juv Glaucous Gull ad Caspian Gull & the ad Iceland Gull again! Finished the day off with Barn Owl on route home with the bonus that bird was in Warks...........
