A later start today arriving at Hayling Island at around 10.45am for the juvenile Red-Backed Shrike that had been present the evening before. On arrival there was no sign of the bird west of the approach track but a closer inspection revealed the bird on the east side of the track near the entrance to Mill Rythe Holiday Park.The bird showed well throughout our stay but was a little bit too distant for any photographs.
A short while after we made the short journey west to Farlington Marshes HWT in search of the 2 Spotted Crakes but after an hour searching we still drew a blank. Other birds seen were 1 Spotted Redshank, 1 Greenshank, 7 Knot, 60+ Dunlin, 2 Curlew Sands and hundreds of redshanks. We then returned home at 2.00pm.
