A male Citril Finch at Holkham Pines. Played it cool and waited until after the football (though when QPR went 3-0 down, I gave up and left!) A bit tense to start with as no sign, but otherwise a good twitch for Britain’s second ever and my first anywhere in the world since my only other sighting in the mountains of Puerto de Navafria, Spain on August 31st, 1998!
Went with Daryl and Tony and we took in 17 Dotterel at Choseley on the way back.
No photos of the Citril Finch as I stood near the back on a slope and had excellent scope views rather than fighting through the scrum to get a picture. So shamelessly stole this one from Surfbirds taken in the exact spot I saw it…
