After a long day to Moscow and back, I was quite looking forward to getting home and chilling out. That was until I reached the bottom of the A23 when the news of a
Red-rumped Swallow appeared at Steyning. Being perfectly placed for a diversion I was on site within 15 minutes, the only problem being I seemed to be on my own and with no optics etc.
Soon though, Christian and others arrived and the bird was soon spotted, and eventually showed very well, at times just metres above our heads. The only downside was the rump wasn't as bright as my uniform!! Many thanks to those who let me use their binoculars, much appreciated.
Red-rumped Swallow - not bad for an iPhone 4!!
