A special one for me was as I was also mainly sheltering from the rain in October 2008 ( although this was not really challenging ) in a little wooden hide at Marloes Mere, Pembrokeshire and a strange looking warbler popped into view, I had a feeling Of a North American warbler but was not too sure...so legged it back to the B & B to get my scope and camera, as initially I was on my way to go sea fishing off the rocks, having photographed the bird and sent my picture into the local bird recorder he came back to me via E- Mail saying this was a female / Immature Blackpoll Warbler !! and if accepted by the Rarities committee would be the first record for Pembrokeshire and Mainland Wales, it was accepted too ! Unfortunately the bird was not found the following day by the locals
This was just one day in October and a very lucky unexpected find
