Red-throated Pipit ( Lifer ) Landguard.

Jimmy & I head to Landguard in search of a lifer after a Red-throated Pipit landed there yesterday.
We arrive just after first light & walk up to the wardens house where it had been seen on Wednesday
but after briefly scanning around the house we have no luck so walk up towards the sea wall. It's then that we notice a small group looking as if they might have something around the concrete blocks so we head over to them & one of the group is LGRE & he has heard the bird & within minutes the Pipit lands a few feet away to give us both another lifer.
Over the next hour or so we get some good views of it, a lovely little bird not to much red on show on the head or throat but very boldly streaked making it easy to pick out as it feeds with a few Meadow Pipits.
