Migrants starting to arrive in Suffolk (Autumn is early!!)

On Tuesday we got the news a
ICTERINE WARBLER
had been found at East Lane, so we popped to see it, as it's a Life tick for me.
 


 
Also in the same hedge row were
6 SPOTTED FLYCATCHERS

 
 












 
Also two WHEATEAR on the sea defences
 



 
Later in the week at Shingle Street the long awaited WHINCHATS turned up in good numbers.
