With a Bluethroat having been found down the beach road at West Runton this morning, spent a few frustrating hours there not seeing it although a fly-over Hobby and a late Wheatear provided some distraction during the searching. Thankfully it was eventually found sitting motionless amongst the vegetation along the field edge just south of the shelter and then subsequently as it ran across the 'new' field occasionally pausing amongst the weeds before disappearing into the adjacent cereal field.
An excellent bird, and a new bird for the patch for me (WR wasn't part of my patch when the one was by the farm buildings a few years back) so a very welcome late spring record. Didn't manage a photo though as it moved too fast across the field and having spent c5 hours down there and needing to be elsewhere (i.e Mucar GC for the W.W Scoter) I reluctantly dragged myself away happy with just having finally caught up with it.
