PATCH BIRDING AT ITS BEST

What  have i been up,well birding seasalter nonstop with mike gould and finding some superb stuff,first was a gull bill tern which i found at oare then a week later rob and andrew had it again,it ended up on the seasalter list a few days later 20/7/22

then the next bird was common to most areas but a pied flycatcher at seasalter 10/9/22

Then i jammed on a purple sandpiper on the beach a first for many years 16/9/22

then on the 23/8/22 i spotted a purple heron sitting on a gate from seasalter lane then a few weeks later again from london array and finallay it gave up and show itself to mike and geoff 

Then the big one on14/9/22 a juv red footed falcon 3rd for kent found by me and mike that was a hard one to id after about 40 min,after phone calls and google  we put the news we just wanted to make sure,the bird ended up on the island  

heavy crop just to show the bird was always far away,so thats a few hightslight of the summer and shows how good patch birding can be,many hours and many miles walked
