Lesser Yellowlegs at Southwold

On Saturday 11th November, after hearing that the 'Legs was at Southwold still, I drove via Wangford (to avoid the water by Reydon bridge) and parked by Blah Blah hill and walked by the east path bordering the Town Marsh, walking past a slight flooded area, the second flooded pool was more substantial and i greeting John B and his family who hadn't seen it yet. Fortunately I quickly spotted it, the fine Lesser Yellowlegs, in front of a Canada Goose and looking reasonably close to the path 30 metres away. Unfortunately as we walked up (we didn't flush it) It flew to a pool behind. 30 minutes of searching revealed a group of around 30 Black- tailed Godwits, a Snipe, around 7 Redshank and when I was on the mobile phone it suddenly dropped in from the back reasonably close. It fed around the area settled on a tiny grassy island and the walked back a little when the sun came out and illuminated pool in golden sunlight. Then around 400 Barnacle Geese flew in and pushed the bird to the back of the pool, we were joined by Matthew D and the settling Barnacles, disturbed a fine diminutive Jack Snipe that flew up and settled in the south- west section of the marsh.
