Booted on the way to Norfolk

After dipping two Booted Warblers in Shetland last year, I felt that all Booted Warblers owed me and it was fortunate that one came up in Lowestoft a day before we were due to drive to Norfolk for an anniversary weekend.

So, when the bird came up on the Bird News Services as still being there just before we were due to leave on Friday, I dropped the bombshell to my #Birderswife that we were taking a slight detour.

It so happened that Neil, Squire and Chris were also on the road ahead of me and a few calls between us assisted in guiding me to the right area in Lowestoft and it wasn't long before we arrived at the destination.  After reports the day before, I was expecting a long wait for the bird to show but as we arrived it immediately it obliged us with great views.  A great start to the weekend on the east coast.
