One more Eastern vagrant........

24 Dec - Another eastern vagrant fitted in.......Good views of the 1st-winter Blyth's Pipit at Blagdon, once Christmas Eve access arranged. Hardly any traffic.......feeding with Meadow Pipits on the shoreline. Larger size, sandy coloration, but relatively shorter bill and tail, and more obvious wing bars. My second in the UK. Also a Peregrine over the lake, and 2 Great White Egrets with 3 Little Egrets, and another GWE seen from the road passing CVL. Surely the last rarity of the year?!
