A day out in Hampshire today, starting at Hayling Island for some Black-necked Grebes, moving on to Weston for the Long-tailed Duck (we didn’t even need to get out of the car for it, but it was asking to be photographed) and then on to Blashford Lakes. A mixed bag there, with failure on a Yellow-browed Warbler, but nice views of Water Rail and a Bittern flew past. Finally we went down to the New Forest for a brief and incredibly distant view of a Great Grey Shrike.
