Jimmy got news of a Tawny Pipit that had been found at Landguard
A call to see if Brian was free finds him birding at Rainham Marsh.
He wants to go for it, so we decide to meet up along the A12 to save him coming back to pick us up.
We meet up and arrive at Felixstowe at 11.15 and pay for two hours of parking.
There are about ten other birders when we get to the roped-off area by the beach.
Raphael tells us that the Pipit had been seen on and off over the last half hour in the foliage on the brow of the ridge.
We don't have to wait long before we all have another lifer. Brian had dipped this Tawny Pipit a couple of times, so well, sweet for him to get that one out the way.
The bird gave good scope views as it walked about on top of the ridge before it was spooked by a Ringed Plover that sent it flying over our heads and landing in open ground to give us an even better view of the bird. Only one tick for the day, but well pleased with another lifer.
