A sunday double dip

Following on from saturdays hugely successful twitch, we decided to try for the long staying buff-bellied pipit in Cheshire, another trans-atlantic vagrant.
8am departure again, nice quiet journey over the pennines was looking promising. Although the declaration that the lucky twitching CD was playing should have been a give away for what was to come, the past success over the years was enough to be confident of yet another success.
Upon arrival, we were met by a dozen or so of cars, more than I had anticipated, but no news of the pipit.
Several hours of walking back and foryh the stretch of marsh the bird has been seen only turned up mipits and notjing remotely different.
A tweet from swilly didnt lift the spirits as a green winged teal had been found, so we headed back, only to dip out on that too.
Disasterous day, but the weekend is now balanced after yesterdays double.
Back to work tomorrow, but praying the GWT sticks until Saturday!
