This Red-throated Pipit was the undoubted highlight of a very productive day. For most Suffolk birders it was a welcome addition to their lists, and duly pulled in a big crowd of admirers. Also turning up was a Cetti's Warbler which occurs close by but is still a major rarity here. The supporting cast of birds included 25 Robins, 15 Chiffchaff, 11 Song Thrush, 8 Blackcap, 5 Wheatear, 3 Grey Wagtail, 1 each of Stonechat, Whinchat and a very nice male Redstart.
This Red Underwing was the pick of the moths, although there was also a few migrants which included another Palpita vitrealis, formerly a major rarity, but now fairly regular.
42 birds ringed: 11 Chiffchaff, 8 Robin, 8 Blackcap, 2 Song Thrush, 2 Meadow Pipit, 2 Linnet and 1 each of Wren, Goldcrest, Redstart, Lesser Whitethroat, Grey Wagtail, Wheatear, Blackbird, Goldfinch and Cetti's Warbler.
