Round Britain Tour - Day 3

Headed down to Haslar Creek this morning for the annually returning Ring-billed Gull which showed very well, I took a vast amount of photos however only a few came out distinguishable. I've really struggled to take photos today, everything has been coming out blurred, the light has been terrible.

From there we headed to Sopley Mill to look for the Green-winged Teal, the fields were completely flooded and it was extremely difficult to find any birds so we dipped the Green-winged Teal.
 
Next on the agenda was Lepe Country Park for the Lesser Yellowlegs which was found rather easily but again it I didn't manage any acceptable photos, it was quite a distance though. Also saw a nice Great Northern Diver, Red-breasted Merganser and Common Guillemot.
 
88. Lesser Yellowlegs
 
We made a quick trip to New Forest to scan for the Great Grey Shrike but it was nowhere to be seen, it's been reported on and off but I suppose it's rather mobile so we notched up dip number 2. We did find Stonechat, Coal Tit and as a bonus, 4 Dartford Warblers.
 
Across to Blashford Lakes next for the Black-necked Grebe of which there were 2, we also connected with Egyptian Goose. We tried the Ivy North hide for the Bittern but dipped on that too, we did add Siskin, Lesser Redpoll and 2 x Mealy Redpoll.

News broke of a Long-billed Dowitcher on Pennington Marshes so we dashed over in the fading light. We arrived on sight to be greeted by a birder who was leaving, he provided some instructions as to it's location but these proved difficult to follow. We did eventually manage to find him and although we had great views through the telescope, the light was all but gone for any photo.
