It would have been rude not to!!!

With the reporting of Curlew Sandpiper at Chelmarsh happening at a time when I was unable to get there, it was a bit of a gamble as to whether they would be stayers or not. Thankfully they were and I was able to get them ticked off for the County for 2010. But oddly for me it was the three Water Rails cavorting about in the open that made my time there more enjoyable then ever, just love these skulkers as they always present such a difficult quarry.

And they were definitely not of the shy type, well not today at least

The Curlew Sandpipers also put in a good appearance and came right up to the hide whilst feeding at times to darn close, can that be!

and they perform in the wrong place.

And a few of the other things around.

A short post just to keep things up to date, so to speak!
