On hearing the news of this Dendroica late on a Sunday evening a sleepless night ensued but amazingly only three observers were present at dawn on Monday when fortunately it didn't take long for us to find this obliging bird. JFC was in Australia but it lingered long enough for him to see it on his return just prior to the birds disappearance.

Having been found the day before I made the long drive north accompanied by RJF & JWK. Plenty of birders were present at dawn overlooking a cold, grey and pebble-strewn beach devoid of any waders. Checking the nearby wave platform also drew a blank so we set off along the nearby beach checking the rock pools and there it was! A few waves to the crowd and everyone present were soon watching this very obliging second for Britain and the Western Palearctic. JFC was abroad at the time, but after his return, we accompanied Pete Neatherway on another enjoyable successful visit.
