Savi's Warbler at Carlton Marshes & Wall Brown in the garden

On Sunday 12th May, I got up really early and I arrived at Carlton Marshes around 6am and parked outside the car park joining Paul W and we both walked over to the Whitecast Marshes path, as we walked over we could hear the loud buzzing of the excellent Savi's Warbler, reaching the wooden flood defence wall, we looked exactly where one had been found so well by Ricky 20 odd years earlier. The bird was soon seen from the left hand bush buzzing away from near the very top branches, when it hopped out to the top it showed in full view. Later on during the day, I saw a Wall Brown (1st garden record) very briefly in the garden, Parkhill, Lowestoft 11.25am flew out from the western wall settled on the lawn and then flew south over to Fallowfields come back please! also 2 Holly Blues. Too quick even with camera and macro lens in hand! Slightly later on, during the 12th, the Wall Brown was back again in our Parkhill garden 12.45pm seen in flight only this time, but not seen subsequently.
