No Photo Opportunities

During a two week period starting on 27 May 08 six first class birds were seen including two Megas and four lifers. Rutland Water had both Stilt and Marsh Sandpiper.Then a Trumpeter Finch at Blakeney followed by Icterine Warbler (Whitchford) and Thrush Nightingale( Dunwich Heath),and to finish off a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Maxey Pits. All these and not one photo opportunity due to reasons of distance and sulkiness( on the part of the bird)
