Today my Dad and I went off in search of our 2nd Terek Sandpiper this time at Rye Harbour and again in East Sussex. On arrival we were told the bird had flown off to the river but a few mintues later someone had picked it up feeding at distance. Although fairly distant the views were good enough to be able to tell it was a Terek Sandpiper and in the end the views were quite nice until the bird took flight at around half 2 with a Redshank and headed high and fast towards Dungeness. Subsequently we drove off to Stodmarsh NNR to look for the Whiskered Tern and Red-Footed Falcon and we managed to see the Whiskered Tern without any trouble but due to having a 1st summer male Red Footed Falcon in Hampshire a few weeks ago we didn't stay to look for the Red Foot so we left and arrived home at around half 7.
What a couple of days down in the south along with Thrush Nightingale and Little Bittern a few weeks previous it can't be bad.
