- Lapland Bunting, Dunwich yesterday. A scarce migrant through Suffolk (rarely over winters), Lapland Bunting numbers have varied from 6-21 (av. 11) in the county over the past 10 years and is now hard to connect with, so it was nice to find this #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

- Carrying on my streak of Shrikes in East Anglia, today I dropped in on the Red-tailed Shrike at Dunwich Heath. Showed fantastically in the morning sun, well worth the trip.

- Found this cracking Red breasted flycatcher at winterton this afternoon, initially very sluggish & napping, then became much more sprightly, even feeding on the floor a few metres away oblivious to my presence. Also 5 redstarts, winterton/horsey, song thrushes, robins & goldcrests. #norfolkbirding

- We had a great Regional Network meeting at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve at the weekend, discussing upcoming BTO projects and of course we slotted in some time for birding. 🐦 A huge thanks to our brilliant volunteers for joining us and for all the incredible work they do to support BTO! 😀
