Wall Browns, dipped Rustic & ringed Caspian

Feeling washed out due to receiving the Flu vaccine on Friday, on Saturday 1st October, I returned to Corton Old sewage works, after James B had seen the long staying YBW, early morning. No such luck but nice to see Rob & Kate M & a chap from Bungay way, we saw Chiff- Chaffs and several Hornets and when Rob H arrived a Queen Hornet buzzed past my face just inches away! We did see along the western hedge first a tatty Wall Brown on a flower, then a second Wall Brown on flowers, in much better condition and the finally one, a third Wall Brown, on flowers by the southern edge of the Corton Old sewage works. As we were leaving news of a Rustic Bunting (a very well deserved & superb find, of a super bird by Matt S) found along a path to brograve Mill from Horsey corner meant a walk of about a mile which beyond me, with my reaction to the jab. On Sunday, with the bird still there, I drove up to Horsey Corner, picking up John H and parking at Horsey Gap paying the £5 car parking charge, from Horsey corner we walked west with a Kingfisher flying over th epath and left in front of me and around 200 Pink- footed geese flying east. A crowd of people including Tony S, Dereham boys etc were in front of us but despite there sharp eyes we were out of luck and didn't see the Bunting. Returning home, late afternoon following a tweet, from Rob W, I drove to Swimming Pool road, parked up and first looking south no caspian Gull could be seen but 3 groynes north of the Oval, there it was a fine 1st winter Caspian Gull, with a yellow ring on its right leg stating P:XT6, it was perched on one of the groyne and spent most of its time wing stretching. Finally 42 Turnstones seen on or near the finger at Ness Point (still no Purple sand for me) nothing in Hamilton Dock.
