No BlackRed for Xmas....

Tried for the Titchfield chalet BlackRed but arrived just as the rain blew in and it had wisely gone to ground; tried again an hour later but still no joy. Poor visibility, choppy sea and rain prevented scoping the sea. From Meadow Hide cc Marsh Harrier, two Buzzards and a Sprawk; a Peregrine came in from a long way out before passing away to the west. A Kingfisher heard by the dipping pond and it or another seen from Suffern along with these two GBBGs.

A brief look off FM carpark produced 115 Pintails and 12 Avocets.
