My nephew was over from Norn Iron for a few days and called for supper on Friday evening and then called in for a cuppa on Sunday before catching the train down to Brighton. He put some extra memory on my laptop for me and is sorting out a problem I am having with my photos so a big THANK YOU to him!
Last week I decided to give my living room a lick of paint so we are now camping out in the back room, but in between the coats of emulsion we did manage to get down to the Titchfiled Haven Reserve on Sunday morning.
They were having another optics weekend and this time had invited Swarovski, Leica, Minox and Kowa reps to come along and show some wares. This was our second go at trying out scopes and we have decided to go for the Swarovski but will have to order it from Warehouse Express as they are a wee bit cheaper.

We had a walk through the reserve and heard some Cetti's warblers and saw lots of other birds. A Jay seemed to be following us along the path. Then from one of the hides we saw a Knot in summer plumage, which according to one of the volunteers should be in Scandinavia at this time of the year.
