Frampton Marsh 13/8/17

It's been a while since I last went out to do some proper Birding and photography,so when Mark suggested we go out for the day I jumped at the chance to go.
So with Mark and Maria along with Chi Chi arriving to pick me up we set off and with a decent day forecast weather wise,things was not looking to bad with reports of Little Stint,Garganey and Wood Sandpipers.
On arrival we made our way to the 360 hide where lots of Black-tailed Godwits and Ruff was close in also a couple of Greenshank was present along with a lone Whooper Swan,we made our way around the pools scanning through wader flocks,we arrived at East hide where a few Yellow Wagtails were in the grass my first of the year and a lifer for Maria.
We then continued along the sea wall but Maria was in a rush to get back to Chi Chi and let him out of the car for a walk but she missed out on Spotted Redshank,but did get to see it later on in the afternoon when we returned back looking for the 4 Spoonbill but no joy with them.
On our way back home everyone was getting hungry so we decided to stop of at The Flying Childers pub at Melton Mowbray for some gorgeous food !!!
