Spectacled Warbler Twitch

Dave made me drive him down to Norfolk today as he needed Spectacled Warbler. As I didn't have anything better to do and partly because I also needed it for the UK I begrudgingly agreed to it. The bird had been present for a fair few days (and was reportedly busy nest-building) so we thought there would be a good chance of it still being there so we headed down early morning.

We found the bird with no trouble at all and enjoyed brilliant views, firstly singing and moving through the vegetation, then a bit later, further along the dunes where it was busy building its cock nest. After watching the warbler for a bit we headed back home very satisfied.

I managed the following record shots:
