I went off on a twitch last week and was very pleased to see the Hawfinches at Draycote Water.Chatting to the birders there enjoying these birds one of them said he was the one who spotted them first and let everyone know.
Now this got me thinking that,whilst it is great to go out on a twitch and see the bird you were after,it must be absolutely fabulous to be the first to spot a rareity.To see a bird that should not be there and has never been seen there must be heart stopping.What did the guy who spotted the Belted Kingfisher feel when he saw it or the guy who first saw the Bee-eaters in Hereford.
Have you been the one who spotted a rareity first.Let us know about it.
