Birding throws up weird and unpredictable coincidences and circumstances at times. Today I was heading towards Skegness, to try and be pioneering, trying to find my own rare birds. I over slept and stopped for fuel at Spalding. When I checked my phone, I saw Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin at Stiffkey in Norfolk. The last record of Rufous Bush Chat, as it was known then, was nearly 50 years ago, at Skegness. Naturally I headed to Stiffkey and for once enjoyed the views of this firsr twitchable for Britain, rather than going for photos. What an incredible autumn this shaping up to be. Note this is only a record shot and there are plenty of better photos of it out there!
