Ness Point in the rain

On Saturday 6 October, I was unable to get out birding until the early afternoon, when I met with Andrew E, Rob Will & James W, no sign for me of the Little Bunting which is still a big Suffolk blocker, having never seen one in the county despite several attempts. On the sea, 2 immature Gannets flew south, 5 Brent Geese flew North, 24 Chaffinches flew north and around 18 Chaffinch plus an unseen Brambling heard called its distinctive rasping call flew in off. 4 Rock Pipits flying in off were joined by a further 2, a flock of 6 in total, as we searched around the Ness Point carpark site for the Bunting in the rain and to no avail.
