Phil joined me for a while then news came through of a Spotted Crake at Beacon Ponds. After ploughing through the mud we joined the small group but the bird had re-located to thick reeds!

This will be my last post from England but I hope to give updates of my trip from time to time from America.
I have a few ABA target birds, namely:-
Greater Prairie Chicken
American Woodcock
Cape May Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Connecticut Warbler
Red Crossbill
Eurasian Tree Sparrow!
However, the Birding part of the trip is more about enjoying the fall migration lakeside and (hopefully) improving my 1w Warbler ID skills! Ready, of course, for when I find one at Holmpton on my return!!!
