Dedicated birder up there in this weather on a Sunday morning like today! A well deserved reward Brian - what a good bird at any time of the year but especially in December. If you had been later then the dog walkers may well have flushed it before you got there.
Wasnt too bad Dave, it was chucking it down when I got there at 0800 but cleared by 0830 and was calm. It was one of those mornings when I didnt relish going but now Im glad I did.
