A days holiday for us two so decided to head to Gibraltar Point in the hope of seeing the olive-backed pipit which would be a new UK bird for Karen. Joined the crowd of birders in the mosquito invested wood and then waited for a good 4 hours until we had a definite sighting. The bird had been seen fleetingly twice but it was absolutely impossible to locate. So, braved the biting mosquitoes and stuck it out and just before 4pm we all struck lucky. An excellent day taking Karen's UK tally to 370.
We finished the day off with a fish and chip tea from Upton, Lincs. The best fish and chips in the world and one of the few chippys in the best food guide. Highly recommended !
