Feel a little sorry for the dotterels, as a fine and dandy visitor he's looking a little like an ugly sister next to that blue throat, well done you, I've just added to a thread in the falconry section some of you rare bird buffs might be interested in its a uk first

The Dotterel were up on the moors and the Bluethroat was on the coast at Hartlepool, it was actually on a green bowls green opposite a housing estate, was spotted on the Friday and last sighting was Saturday evening when my photos were taken, loads of reports of people going to seek it on the Sunday but must've moved on.
