RNP at Covehithe Broad/ puddle!

A tweet mid morning on Sunday 31st August of an RNP at Covehithe Broad had me eventually driving down and I parked up behind a long line of cars and I saw Paul & Jane F walking down to me, they had seen the bird distantly out to sea but we received another message to say it had flown back so we walked down to the Broad, which was fenced off. The bird, a fine immature/ 1st winter Red- necked Phalarope was eventually seen in the far south-east corner of the remain of water along the northern edge of the Broad and we had to look back south along the water to see it occasionally swim out from the corner where it resolutely remained albeit sheltering from the keen southerly wind. Just occasionally it would further out briefly and it was seen behind some purple flowers in the foreground at one point. I then flew over our heads, together with a Snipe that then flew inland the Phalarope carried on out to sea settling on the sea, we couldn't pick it up but it did fly back onto the Broad where it did swim out to a wooden stump and I managed just 2 half decent shots. Walking back to the car, a fine Hobby flew over the road and north.
