Lifer mission for Chester

Young birder Chester had been over in the UK for summer camp and had some important birds to track down before heading home to Hong Kong with his family. We were very excited to help out!

Dartford Warbler in Sussex. Custom private birding tours in Sussex and London with Wildstarts.
Dartford Warbler was the first quest... And we quickly found two, an adult male and this more showy juvenile on the clifftops. Result!
Male Bearded Reedling in Sussex. Custom private birding tours in Sussex and London with Wildstarts.
Next up... Bearded Reedling. These can be tricky, and for a while we thought we might not be lucky this time at Pett Level. Then this male popped out after we heard a few quiet calls!
Fulmar chick at Newhaven. Custom private birding tours in Sussex and London with Wildstarts.
As a surprise, we stopped off at Newhaven on the way back to Brighton, where we knew there was still a baby Fulmar on the cliffs. We then found a second chick and had an incredible fly-past from an adult!

Finding these birds with such an enthusiastic young birder was one of the highlights of the year so far. Thanks for the company, Chester, Susanna, Caitlyn and Ivan!
