When the rain relented on Thursday made an instant decicion to leave the chores and try for the Black Winged Stilts at Elmley.

The weather stayed fair long enough to get to theSouthfleet hide and back,just,and the two Stilts were seen at a distance of about 250m,in a gully behind a bank,they did eventually show a leg or four,but came no closer.
