I needn't have worried, Amy was dropped off at Leicester station promptly at 3.40pm and then I drove
Cue terrible photographs - scope views were generally excellent and it afforded one beautifully close fly-past, the tart.

The anxious wait...
Was exactly what I had to contend with this afternoon when news broke of the Black winged Stilt at Rutland. It would have not only been a big, fat, county tick; it was a bigger, fatter, UK tick! I've seen the little devils before in France on roadside salt pans but never one before in good old blighty so I was rather eager to see this one. But because Amy was here and because her train back to Sheffield wasn't until 4pm I had to sit around getting increasingly rage-filled at the prospect of missing it!
I needn't have worried, Amy was dropped off at Leicester station promptly at 3.40pm and then I drovelike a complete arse calmly and sedately over to Rutland where long legs was quick to show once Dunlin hide was entered. Isn't it nice when things go to plan!?
