This is a stunning bird, and an amazing and unexpected record (especially considering June is usually so quiet for rarities). Thank you to Bena for getting the news out quickyl so that people could see it today.
I hope that the bird (birds?) stays for a few more days so that more get the chance to see it. Thick-knees are often more active at dusk, so it may be worth a trip after work even if you can't make it during the day
I'm sure there will be plenty more photos posted later today or over the coming few days!
