I probably don't even go down as the finder but I was the first one very early morning, I located it on song, and pulled up and tried to see it for two hours. I alerted another birder, and then a warden who was driving past. I also found a wintering American Golden Plover in Lincs by Donna Nook, tho that bird had already been seen sporadically that winter.Also found 8 stunning Waxwings 100 metres from my home, several Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers (Ive actually got a good record of finding them) - including 1 at Belvide, 1 at Aqualate Res, as well as 4 birds at well-known LSW sites. Turtle Dove on Cannock Chase was one of my favourate finds as was unexpected.The Thrush Nightingale is my stand-out bird though, even if I only got to see it in the hand once it had been netted.</blockquote>
