After work myself and a few of the other guys headed to one of the Koogs further north from Husum looking for waders. We had a really nice evenings birding with a wide range of species that I don't necessarily see very often in Britain. Highlights included Red-necked Phalarope and Temminck's Stint, and a Black Tern was also a nice surpirse. The highlight of the evening was getting close to some fantastic Bearded Tits with individuals from a whole range of ages being very approachable.
