13/07/2015 Red-footed Falcon, Stoke & Blithfield Reservoir

The first place we visited was Chatterley Whitfield in the hope of seeing the Red-footed Falcon.  After standing around in the rain along with other birders for what seemed hours the bird eventually made an appearance looking even wetter than the watching birders!
