Arrived at cool & blustery Titchwell c3am & slept in the car until it got light. The fresh marsh held a reasonable sized flock of Knot but no Great Knot. News came through that it was on the beach but by the time I got round the flock had flown and most birds dispersed towards Scolt Head.
I busied myself looking at what was on offer at Titchwell including Little Gull & of course the usual stuff. With no further sign of the Great Knot I headed back into Lincolnshire for Caspian Tern. No problems here with the bird on view soon after arriving.

By mid morning I was on to target number 3 a Little Bittern at Old Moor RSPB in south Yorkshire. 3 hours sat in Bittern hide secured a 10 second flight view. Twitching really is a mugs game.
