Jason managed to capture the spirit of the scramble - we all managed to squeeze in - standing room only with a good natured gallery and only one well behaved guy with a big lens (me). The explosive call was heard within minutes of arrival, you could sense the collective excitement as Ken sighed - "you'll all believe me now"! Everyone also managed good views of the bird eventually? Some quicker than others, as with all Cetti's encounters - lots of noise - hard work to find the little sod.
Of course, there were false alarms with Chiffchaffs and Reed Buntings moving around too.....
I stuck it out for two hours before the gates had to close and whilst I did get some nice views through the bins - this one and only (strictly dodgy record shot) is all I had to show for my efforts through biting wind, hail and snow.......
(Just in case you can't see it - the out of focus brown job to right of centre!)
