This is Stuart's version of a blog post. I quite like it. In other news, we went to Rainham Marshes today and I got horrifically sunburnt again. We were innundated with Collared Dove as we walked up to the centre and after running back to the car to get the field guide, I spotted a handsome little Wheatear perched upon a log. He stayed there long enough for me to get to the hide and point him out to Stuart, then he disappeared. Numerous Little Egret and Grey Heron were present and we managed to pick out some Sedge Warbler to add to our year list. We kept seeing Wren all over the place, but whether this was one bird or many, we have no idea. I was very pleased with myself for IDing 2 Redshank mid flight and enjoyed watching the 9 Black-tailed Godwit trying to decide where to land. We are still on the hunt for a Cuckoo however after missing one by 10 minutes. Also, I seem to have forgotten I had a camera as the following picture is the only one I took...
