Arrived at Attenborough Pits, Notts to be told by all the birders that it had all kicked off earlier and we had missed the altercation! Apparently a fisherman was determined to fish in exactly the same spot as the squacco, he was asked politely not to but continued. Many words were exchanged and eventually the fisherman had all his tackle thrown in the river by a birder - YES!! The squacco re-located but did eventually give us this fly past before seeking an alternative reed bed at the other side of the pits where it remained hidden for the rest of the day.
