Storm Isha was, for the most part, a slightly damp squib (thankfully) at least in south-east Hants and didn't see TH needing to close. The NfY Spoonbill on the frying pan had the good grace to relocate to south scrape and was immediately visible from the road on arrival although, typically, head tucked in and asleep. Sadly the Bittern in the Reed patch just below the bridge was more problematic and flushed across the river just after I'd walked away from the usual TH birders/togs.
Again Firecrests and indeed all passerines were elusive/absent with no Redwings along the boardwalk trees. Three Curlews were feeding in the meadow and a distant Sparrowhawk was chased around by crows.
Finally, two Marsh Harriers were circling distantly.
A brief attempt at the Posbrook Ferruginous was stumped by no parking spaces and will have to wait for another visit.
