Eastern yellow Wagtail ( lifer ) pending

A late mid morning decision to head up to Walberswick in Suffolk after news comes through that the Eastern yellow Wagtail had been ID'd from sound recordings & had been seen today.
We make really good time & arrive around 1 o'clock, we park in the free car park & set off on the 2 mile walk along the beach till we find a group of birders,the Wagtail had flown off but the group think it will return as that seems to be it's pattern.
After an hour the bird did indeed return along with a group of Snow Buntings & 2 or 3 Western yellow Wagtail. The bird showed really well & we had no trouble in picking out the Eastern Yellow Wagtail to give us all a good lifer tick.
So a good decision to make the trip even if it didn't feel like it as we trudged along the beach but we got well rewarded for our effort.
