My second new bird of the weekend, and what an annoying little blighter it proved to be. When we arrived we were greeted by the cheery news that it had shown for 1 second in the past 3 hours, and looking at the amount of cover it had for such a skulking bird, it wasn't surprising.
We waited and waited, for 2 and a half hours with about 50 other birders, and gradually people began to drift away, but still no sign of the bird. Then, just as we were about to leave at 4:45pm, miraculously somebody got onto it, and there it was creeping around the botton of a bush. It was in view for about 30 seconds, and then was gone, but long enough for us to see everything we needed to see. A great little bird!
