A Shorelark was seen yesterday at Hayling
Oysterbeds late in the afternoon and reported to Birdguides this morning. I had
already made plans to visit the coast this afternoon if I had time and so with not
especially high hopes I arrived at the Oysterbeds. After a brief exchange of
conversation with a Dorset birder we parted
ways to look for the bird. Just a few minutes later I picked it out distantly
on the shingle island, the first Shorelark I have seen in Hampshire and my fifth
new Hampshire
There is no way I’ll keep up this momentum!!
Unfortunately only two other birders were able to connect before it disappeared followed by the appearance of various familiar faces hoping to see it. I gather it didn’t show again until late in the day around dusk, but at least its still there.
