Sun 13th Mar 22

I started my morning at the Frinton end of site and found that the female Black Redstart found by Jeff Biddle yesterday afternoon was still behind the beach huts and out on the practice pitch. Then moving on to the farm the cracking male bird was still in the paddocks. All the work today was put in by Pete & Richard who covered most of the site, see report below.
