    I spent most of yesterday trying to chase down various rarities that had been reported in the region, with absolutely zero success, until it was almost time to head home and I decided to make one last try, and was finally met with success with this friendly Red Knot, a pretty rare migrant through my area, and my first time seeing one in Europe!
