3 new birds for me today, Pallas's Warbler, Smew and Ring-necked duck, pretty pleased with those, all within 15 miles of home although dipped a cattle egret
Seeing the Pallas's really confirmed I don't like "twitches", was probably 40 people crowded around a small piece of hedge while I was there and just feels so unnatural where as seeing the Ring-necked duck, while I was watching it a few others came and went, had some chit chat but only ever a couple of us, much nicer experience. The pro of the twitch is experienced people able to find and see things that I would otherwise miss like a siberian chiff chaff amongst the regular chiff chaff and yesterday they had a firecrest in amongst the goldcrest
Some stock photos for reference
