09/02/14. 150th bird of 2014 - a Tree Creeper

Sunday 9th February 2014
Folkestone

I wanted to try and twitch the Pallas' Warbler that had been seen adjacent to the Shorncliffe Army Barracks at Folkestone.  Despite spending over 2 hours there I had to admit defeat and head off home again.

Not all was doom and gloom however as I recorded my 150th species of 2014 - a lovely Tree Creeper seen on the main path soon after the start.

 I also enjoyed smashing views of a Green Woodpecker as it fed on the grass about 50m ahead of me.

A long journey but not a lost cause.
