When you should have had a smashing day with finding a first for Canons Farm/good bird for London and Surrey (Common Quail) as well as two other good patch birds (a pair of Whinchats and a Tree Pipit) but it all goes wrong when you don't see the main attraction yourself, even though you found it and you simultaneously get several other people a tick because they glimpsed it/count heard only birds.
Bummer. Back first thing tomorrow morning till dusk if need be.
