Lesser Yellowlegs, Stilt Pool, Medmerry

I was hoping to get some work done today and over the summer doldrums but things as usual didn't go to plan. This time it wasn't due to one of the kids or some other emergency instead it was Anthony Smith who discovered a Lesser Yellowlegs on the Stilt Pool at Medmerry. After getting a little bit of work under my belt I decided to twitch it late morning as the light gets awful there in the afternoon/evening.

Fortunately it was still there when I got there but unfortunately stayed to the back of the pool so I couldn't get any decent photos. Luckily it was a bit closer earlier on in the day and Kevin Tarrant managed to get some pretty good shots (below)

The first on the Peninsula since 2008! Now on 193 for the Peninsula and 169 for the year.

This was the best I could do but nice to get my own record shot too
