Heard first Chiffchaff yesterday at Rainham marshes....seemed like several around but could we spot the little sweetie...nope!!
But did see one of the Penduline Tits! However the object of the exercise was somewhat thwarted when the person with me was so far away by the time I had found it and was in my scope(they were looking at a Little Egret!!! Now lovely as they are.....!)...she got back looked in the scope it got moved somehow and bird flew deeper into the reed bed....not to be seen again. At least not by us.
Lovely day and we also saw a Water Vole....very nice too.
So will add to the year list.
