It was present on arrival (as was the finder John Marchant) on a small island at reasonable range and in pretty much full summer plumage. Also there were 2 Green Sandpipers, an eclipse drake Pintail (with rumours they have bred at the site), Kingfisher, Stock Dove, good numbers of trilling Little Grebes and c15 Little Egrets.
A very enjoyable half an hour before I had to return home to finish cooking the tea!
