Five men and a year list

It was a early start this morning as five of us wanted to see the Red Flanked Bluetail at Arnolds walk in Suffolk which showed well feeding under the sycamore trees at the top of the hill but all to brief as its one of my favorite birds on my life list, they are just so smart.Then we went on to see the Rough Legged Buzzard distantly at Reydon and two Waxwings was a bonus also Bearded tits seemed to be everywhere. Next up was Dunwich shore to see the Shorelarks and Twite which gave good views and on the way back to the car Paul found a short eared owl coming in off the sea being harassed by gulls. We did look for the Great Grey Shirke but ran out of luck so the Dartford Warblers was compensation as they sang and showed well . A fantastic days birding and great company as always thanks to (paul,martin,david and jono)
