We joined the masses with very limited viewing that were 5 deep in parts so we knew it would be pot luck if we saw the bird. The main viewing area didn't move all day giving no-one else a chance. It was a very stressful twitch to be honest with a near fight quite near us and then a chap fainted and slid all the way down the banking behind us. But we had a birder just up from us that gave spot on directions when the robin flew up the gully and we had split second views. Was it worst standing for hours.....no ! But lovely to chat to friends old and new which made the day enjoyable.
Celebrated with home-made chicken pakoras and a pint of cider !
