Local patchwork

On Wednesday 25th October, checking again for the Siberian Stonechat at Corton OSW, we went back for the Dusky Warbler still by the first shelter belt north of the Oval, again "takking" regularly and actually seen flying into the bushes and seen from the back looking at its cream undertail coverts and dark mousey brown upperparts. It then flew left towards the base of the slope and was seen well but briefly along the right hand end of the Alexanders as it perched in a hole for all of 30 seconds, but the eyestripe and supercilia seen and mousey-brown drab upperparts and pale buff below. I then had a pleasant few hours showing Toby his Mum and david W around the Lowestoft haunts, around 25 Goldcrest seen, a Chiff- Chaff and some fungi but until we got to Corton Woods little else. just north of the pond, David W played Jake G's mixer tape and immediately the fantastic Firecrest appeared. Showed well in the bushes here for 15 minutes. Then news broke that Andrew had co-refound the Siberian Stonechart, a bird I really wanted to photograph well. TBC
