I thought I’d have a few hours birding at Rainham RSPB this afternoon. Very enjoyable with Pec Sand, Glossy Ibis, Raven, Jack Snipe, Great Egret and quite a few Blackwits

50 years ago today. Bluethroat trapped at Beddington SF, Surrey. The teenage me could scarcely believe it… Mike Netherwood extracted it from the mist net, Ken Parsley ringed it, I gawped on from the sidelines. A special day that has never lost its allure. October 10th always remembered.
