Last saturday had a great day in Suffolk first headed to Oulton Marsh to look for the Dusky Warbler which had been around for a week or so waited for a few hours but no luck with that but had lovely views of a nesting pair of Long-tailed Tits and managed to see a couple of Cetti's Warblers which are always a tough bird to see. Then headed to Ness point where there a beautiful Black Redstart feeding in one of the yards. Out at sea lots of Turnstones feeding out on the rocks but sadly no purple Sandpipers but a bonus flyby Kittiwake.
Then headed to Minismere at Island Mere i ended up staying for the rest of the day had meant to walk around the rest of the reserve but the birds were really productive with a very showy Bittern feeding on the sticklebacks with a Water Pipit and Snipe and Jack snipe nearby and overhead upto 3 Marsh harriers displays over the reed beds.
