I couldn't resist diving across to Winterton this afternoon: the drab sky and drizzle had unexpectedly cleared and the long-staying Pallid Swift was reportedly showing well near the Church. When I arrived at around 2.00pm there was no-one else around, but after a minute or two a birder walked up from the village and kindly pointed out the bird, which fortunately flew nearer.
Over the next hour or so a small gallery of familiar faces appeared and we enjoyed reasonable views of this delightfully agile vagrant in the afternoon sunshine.
