Went down yesterday to see the grey phalarope on the paddling pool at Hove lagoon. Twitching locally is allowed in my rules ! The most amazing bird, tiny and so beautiful. It seemed quite content to motor around the pretty small pool like some wind-up clockwork toy. At some times it would come close enough to the assembled crowd as to be able to reach out and touch it. I will post some proper photos of the bird once I've uploaded the pics. In the meantime here's one taken with my phone just to give a sense of perspective.
