I headed into Hampshire with Max Robards where we obtained excellent views of the Wilson's Phalarope, my first in the UK. There were also two Grey Phalaropes on the same lagoon although upon arrival there was no sign. A quick look on the next lagoon over produced the goods and we had good scope views.

We headed back to Sussex after our quick raid the other side of the border. Our next location was Burton Mill Pond to look for the Purple Heron. We arrived around 3pm and had to wait till 18:30pm until the bird decided to fly to roost. It gave a nice 5 minute fly around before perching in its usual willow tree on the south side of the pond. A successful day particularly for Max as he got 3 new birds!
