An early finish for the bank holiday weekend gave time for a trip out to try for the White-tailed Plover at Seaforth and despite restricted viewing and a terrible heat haze the bird duely obliged, the lucky few with access to the reserve hide must have got some crippling views as from time to time it wandered to within 20ft of it. Thankfully Ticker got a shot of one in Oman, shown here.
The Savis Warbler at Old Moor near Barnsley was a different challenge, frustratingly singing its head off about 30ft right in front of us it allowed just fleeting glimpses and then not of all the bird, after about an hour and a half and in rapidly failing light I decided to head for the chip shop and home, thanks to the RSPB for arranging special out of hours access to the site. I think this will need the BVD (better view desired) suffix on my list.
