Iberian Chiffchaff at Dunwich ( another lifer )

We decide on a trip to Minsmere but head off to Dunwich Heath first to try for the Iberian Chiffchaff that has hung about for the last week.
We walk down to Centenary pond  & hear  the target bird within 5 minutes of arrival.
The Chiffchaff was heard several times over the next half hour & then we get a great view as it flies onto a tree in front of us & sits out in the open & sings away to confirm that we have the right bird to give both Jimmy & I another lifer.
While here  we see Dartford Warbler,Whitethroat,Garden Warbler,Chiffchaff & also hear Cuckoo & Bittern on a very nice warm morning.
Off now for a look around Minsmere where we find very little of interest,the place was full of Gulls & Terns plus a few Kittiwakes but very little in the way of Waders.As we walk about we find another Dartford Warbler plus Stonechat & a couple of Grasshopper Warblers.
As we are heading for home the Broad-billed Sandpiper came on the pager & we are only 13 miles away from Orford so we have to try for another year tick.
Parked up we head off & end up walking a long way along the side off the water with little hope of finding the bird as the tide had come in & we find out later that the bird had flown over to the airfield & we had no way off getting over to that side of the lake.
The tide was not due out for 2 hours so we make the decision to give up & head off home.
Later on at home we see that the Sandpiper had come back when the tide receded maybe head back to try again.
