Calshot, New Forest + Blashford - Hants 11/1/12

Successfully twitched the Spanish Sparrow with Ads Bowley today down in Calshot. Around 50 people present on arrival, it showed straight away in the roadside hedge, flew into a private garden, and reappeared again.
Afterwards we went and saw the Dark-eyed Junco again which showed much better than previous, allowing great scope views.
The rest of the day was spent around the Blashford Lakes and nearby land notching up some good yearticks.

Calshot - SPANISH SPARROW

New Forest - DARK-EYED JUNCO 1, Crossbills 5, Dartford Warblers 2, Woodlark 1.
