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!

I also saw
Magpie, Wood Pigeon, Blackbird, Robin and Pied Wagtail. We decided not to wait around to se if the
Black Redstart appeared and headed off for a coffee at Westport Lake.
