Yellow Browed Warbler

On a walk round Warblerswick. On the way back to Southwold we got a text alert for a Yellow Browed Warlber, in the campsite (just the other side of the river.
Ferry was not working so we had a long walk to get there. A kind gentleman helped us find it.

We saw a Bittern

First went to Dunwich Heath and saw a Dartford Warbler. Then did a walk with a guide round Minsmere, from the East Hide we saw a Bittern fly up from the Bittern reed bed over to the north reed bed.
