Blyth's Reed Warbler at Southwold

On Sunday 7th June, I drove over to Southwold and taking the gravel tracked road just north of the Pier I joined a throng of people not all were really socially distanced. Dick, Ali R, Rob H and later Steve P were among the birders present. The excellent Blyth's Reed Warbler bird was soon singing near the tops of nearby reeds. It was showing really well and perching near the tops of reeds and even flew closer. Ali departed and I took his place at the extreme left and watched the bird, the only problem was it was often obscured, but singing constantly, it then flew even closer briefly before flying back. It then flew back towards a tree and ditch further back, after 15 minutes it hadn't reappeared and with get leaden clouds creeping ever closer it was at this point I left.
