Flycatchers & Chats at a productive Gunton

On Sunday 24th August, a look around the Gunton area revealed 2 Pied Flycatcher along the Gunton ORT one on the track itself half way down in an Oak. One walking back along the Pitch & Putt 1/4 way along from the north, one flew up into tree. A fine Spotted Flycatcher was seen in trees either side of a "Dogs must be on lead" sign. It was perched near the very right top of a tree before flying across to another and out of sight. Joining James W along the Woodland burial, we eventually saw a pair of Whinchats, the smart male on the left and the female on the right of the park bench. At Chantry Park, Ipswich, whilst queuing to get into the Ed Sheeran concert, a Small Heath butterfly seen by a circular fenced off wild area with signs about Stag Beetles sadly none of these were seen though.
