Quite a long wait but eventually it was worth it as the Long-tailed Skua, after making a few attempts at chasing terns, flew in to the harbour giving reasonable views.  It then moved a fair way inland before turning back around and moving back onto the sea where it landed and couldn't be relocated.

On one of my trips back to the car a Peregrine flew over being harassed by a couple of Kestrels.

Pennington Marshes (04/08/2014)

A pleasant early morning walk around the marshes produced a Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Wood Sandpipers and at least 3 juvenile Water Rails.  6 Eider were in the harbour and eventually had good views of the Pectoral Sandpiper on the Fish-tail Lagoon.

Eventually when it warmed up the Brilliant Emeralds came out (maybe 2 of them).  I tried to photograph them but no luck and then I managed to net one and got some up close and personal views before letting it go.

At least 2 Brilliant Emeralds and amazingly my first Kingfisher of the year.

Esher Pond (13/07/2014)

Excellent views of Brilliant Emerald but frustratingly difficult to photograph.  There were at least 3 of this species here.

Thursley Common (12/07/2014)

No Brilliant Emeralds but did see a Spotted Flycatcher feeding in the pines.

Spent ages looking for Brilliant Emerald at this site and pretty sure I had at least one male.  I nice selection of other dragonflies/damselflies and butterflies as well.
