In the early evening of Monday, 10th, a Temminck's Stint had been found at Amwell Nature Reserve. With the bird still present Wednesday afternoon, we decided to make the 20-mile trip early today. We arrived at 7am and connected with the Temminck's Stint immediately.
It was happily feeding on the central island in the picture below.

Friday 14th August
The lockdown measures in place this year have had a considerable impact on my year list numbers, and several birds that I would expect to see in April and May have been missed. Leaving me trying to connect with some of them on the way out rather than on the way in. One of these birds is the Pied Flycatcher, so when Nick C reported two at Wanstead Flats, we made the trip that afternoon. As luck would have it, we bumped into Nick shortly after leaving the car park, and he took us to the SSSI area. It took a while to connect, but eventually one showed very nicely among the branches of a Silver Birch.
