   Messages today to say there is a Black-winged Stilt at Chew, from Stratford hide. Spent all day at work thinking 'i bet its gone before i can get there'. But, luckily it stayed. Got there to be told its just walked behind the island out of view. After a bit of a wait, it decided to walk out and feed in, what i was told was its favoured area. Sadly this was a bit too far for decent photos. Oh well, at least the light was really nice, so i will wait!!!

   Luckily i waited long enough for it to walk towards the hide, and spend a few minutes only at a good photographic distance. Brilliant.
