Plenty of inverts and a twitch..

News broke early on Thursday of this Red-necked Phalarope at Sidlesham and so a quick drive down found the bird immediately but very distant on the left-hand side of the pool. Decent scope views when the sun broke through - and a catch up with CR from Titchfield and Barry and Margaret. (Photo courtesy of photographer - not mine). News broke of Hampshire's breeding Roseate Terns.
