Ness Point goodies

On Sunday 1st February, I drove to Ness Point and I saw Brian & Janet, who were gazing intently at the ledge, they pointed out the fine Rock Pipit, the blue- ringed bird but it was looking into the sun. I walked over and it was feeding intently, it then flew over to the rocks, where it perched for several minutes before flying south. A walk further south to Hamilton road, failed to reveal anything. So I walked north along the seawall and re-joined Brian and Janet by the sewall just opposite the Caravan park, we saw 1 Purple Sandpiper on the seaward side of the sewall. I then saw a second Purple Sandpiper flying north. Meanwhile back at Ness Point, 2 Oystercatchers were feeding on the rocks just the seaward side of the compass. Later on a message from Brian and Janet, stating they had seen the Grey's by the field opposite PCE Automation at Ellough (just off the roundabout), I drove up and saw Nick C. and Neville. There was no sign of the Grey's, just 5 Red-legged Partidges and 2 female Common Pheasants. A dog walked walking round the side of the field didn't help. The others left, I checked this large field nearer Beccles and then checked by the bypass the first turning, I parked up and from the gate, I spotted 2 fine Grey Partridges, not too far away but unfortunately the rain was increasing. I quickly What-app'd a messgae on the Lounge Lizards group as I knew Nick & maybe some Beccles birders would probably pop back if they had been refound. There was a male and female Grey Partidge crouched close together with the female walking over to the male. I spotted a cyclist heading my way from along the bypass it was Carl B. and Nick soon arrived back and fortunately I was able to get both onto these elusive birds.
