Purple Sandpipers

Took a break from my niece’s birthday party in Beccles to pop down to Lowestoft with Tom. It had held a few good birds, including three Northern Long-tailed Tits and a Pallas’s Warbler in recent days. Unfortunately, in heavy rain, there was no sign of these birds today but we did have a reasonable attempt for an hour or so, finding a few large flocks of Long-tailed Tits and Goldcrests.

Five Purple Sandpipers on the rocks at Ness Point were new birds for Tom.

Between Foxton and Fowlmere, a Barn Owl was seen.
