What a fabulous bird !  Well the weather was shocking here this morning with torrential rain so had just got feet up for the day and was planning watching a few films when we thought we had best have a look at the pager. The days plans soon went out the window, flask made and we were heading to Derbyshire / Manchester for a bird!  A new UK bird for Karen's list.  Recon we saw it just in time as the heavens opened yet again as we left.
