Thought i would pay a brief visit to Upton Warren Nature Reserve to catch up with the reported Temmincks Stint.  After seeing Vern Wrights stunning photos over the last few days i thought i would give it a go.  

I only had a few hours in the morning due to work commitments in the afternoon.  I arrived at Upton Warren and some fellow birders pointed the bird out which was very distant.  Within 5 minutes it  relocated to just in front of the hide but as soon as it had landed it flew off again.  It spent most of the morning on the far side of the flash.  Also at the site were 3 Green Sandpipers, 1 Dunlin, 2 Ruff, 3 Ringed Plover, 30+ Lapwing 50+ Black headed Gulls and a Common Sandpiper. 

The light was very poor at times but the sun was trying to push through the cloud.  Vern arrived in the hide and boom the Sun shone and the Temmincks flew right in front of the hide.  Some people are born lucky lol!!!  I managed a few half decent shots of this tiny bird.  Just a shame my flight shot was when the sun had gone back in.  Hopefully this bird will stick around as i would like another shot at this bird.
