Cattle egret twitch - holy island

Went to holy island today to twitch a cattle egret, although having seen 2 in Britain i thought its was a good enough reason to have a trip up to Northumberland for a days birding. wasn't long before i was off the mark with a bou tick, barn owl was hunting the fields at beal :) then the pager went ''Cattle egret still at crooked lonnen'' off i went, it only took a few minutes before i was onto the egret, cracking bird :). next i decided to have a nice easy drive down the coast ticking off a few birds on the way, not before stopping to give tilly a quick dip in the sea, rather her than me! ended the day on 69 species 27 of which were new for my bou year list, here's my day list, can't believe i didn't get blue or great tits! next day trip will be teeside sometime this week, target birds green winged teal-black throated diver-caspian gull.
