Twite delight at Benacre today. A duo feeding along the sandy cliffs. This little finch - once a winter feature of local saltings - is becoming an increasingly scarce species in Suffolk in line with the steep decline of the British population (subspecies pipilans).

This late northern-type Willow Warbler has been accompanying the tit flock around Links Hill, Lowestoft, for the last week.

Rosehip, sloes and Pallas's Leaf Warbler. Born in the montane taiga forests of the Far East, this tiny seven-striped sprite's maiden migration of some 3,000 miles landed it in my parish of Gunton, Lowestoft, rather than its more usual subtropical southeast Asia wintering grounds.

A perusal of a buddleia grove next to Dunelm at Lowestoft's South Quay revealed this delightfully frosty Siberian Chiffchaff. From east of the Urals to a waste ground next to an architectural eyesore once labelled Suffolk's ugliest building!

Share this if you want the House of Lords to SAVE OUR SWIFTS. Today Parliamentary peers will vote for or against swift bricks. Labour Peers will be whipped to vote NO, Lib Dem’s YES, & Tories can choose. 🤷‍♀️ COME ON THE LORDS!!!!!!!

British icon, hilarious comic & bird-kind ⁦@BillBailey⁩ thinks securing homes for birds reliant on cavity nesting habitat is an ace idea. The swift brick debate is tomorrow. Help the birds. Email SWIFT BRICKS to steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk & james.cleverly.mp@parliament.uk

Excellent October birding at Corton, Suffolk, this morning: 3 YbW, 15+ Firecrest, Sibe Chiff, Woodcock and pulses of winter thrushes arriving.

The delightful 1w Red-breasted Flycatcher at Southwold, Suffolk. Thanks @Griffonfulture

A fabulous fall of Firecrests on the coast this week.

Ducks, Brents, Starlings, Brambling, Little Stint, and a fall of Firecrests and Goldcrests on the coast today.

A newly arrived Short-eared Owl - having crossed the North Sea - was this evening's cycle ride highlight.

A post-work cycle ride produced a loquacious Yellow-browed Warbler - presumably freshly arrived - in the Links Hill sycamores, Lowestoft, at dusk (library photo).
