I met up with Dave and Joy this morning and we went to the Lee Valley Spring Wildlife event.
I suppose for some of the girlies who read this blog this will have been the highlight.
but for me it was the rescue bats they had which were coolest. Around the reserve we saw Lesser and Common Whitethroats and also lots of Sand Martins.
We then went to the Rainbow & Dove in Harlow for a drink in the sun and I took Dave and Joy to the guaranteed Green Sandpiper at Rye Meads which wasn't present! Still we saw a Northern Wheatear which was a year and patch tick.

What can I say? How about phwoaaarrr! Didn't you get his autograph for me? Was he nice, was he friendly, were there loads of women hanging round him, tell me, tell me! Any more photos of him?
no more photos. heard some of his question and answer session and he came across as pretty genuine.
When you mentioned us "girlies" and the highlight, I thought you were talking about the owl.
Sounds like a good day out. No pics of the bats??
Don't you worry Pete! You'll still be my 'highlight' (though I must admit, that I don't have a clue who that Dave is).
Fantastic pictures, looks like you had a lovely day!
