More Firecrests and YBW

On Sunday 26th October, at Ness Point the sea was exceptionally high with regular waves lashing over the defence rocks and covering the whole of the compass and the lower walk way, unusual to see this away from Spring Neap tides and powerful E or NE gales. Just north of there 2 Redwings flew in/ off. A lone Turnstone braved the edge of the shelf just south of the compass. A walk around the Orbis revealed zilch, the netposts bushes I heard Brambling and Siskin but not seen a walk down Corton ORT revealed 3+ Firecrests, a Yellow-browed Warbler (a bright bird so definity different from the pale bird seen up at the bridge previously) just south of the copse, I viewed these with Alison and Chris A. Also seen was a Treecreeper scaling up the central branch of a small tree. Walking back to the car parked at Corton Churchyard I saw a Firecrest in the northern fence bushes.
