Not strictly a post about the patch, but I thought that rather than waiting for the Bewick's at the patch, I shoud probably go and see the birds in case they leave. I know the place well (having looked for Whooper and Bewick's there before (albeit twice)) and was on site in the dark at about twenty past seven. Standing on the road side in my school uniform looking down a 'scope before first light on a Wednesday morning warranted a fair shar of bemused looks from cars on the road.
The Bewick's flew in from the north-east (not Boldermere direction) at 07:27. They were seen very well coming into land with some Mute Swans giving a handy size comparison.
Very, very happy to have seen them in Surrey. I think it is very unlikely that I'd be able to see them from the patch though. A top top bird.
