Northern Waterthrush ~ Heybridge, Maldon Essex - 14.01.24

Monday 15 January 2024

After years of not going to see mega's & rare birds in the U.K  this is my second of  '24, defiantly won't be making a habit of it that's for sure but as both had been here for quite a while going for the Northern Waterthrush seemed like a good idea as there would be less people to piss me off ..

Picked up Jono L at 8am and was parked in the car park that everyone was asked to park in, a short walk and I was surprised to see so many people already there, with many parked directly opposite in the road, I know its unrestricted parking but when asked to park elsewhere and you choose to be one of the many to upset the residents this is why bird news is suppressed ..

Other than parking all went well it took a couple of hours for the bird to return and when it did the shutters went mental, one machine gun camera behind me took 200+ shots before while the bird was still half way down the ditch !!

Still a pleasant morning out seeing a Northern Waterthrush ..
