A Day Out In Suffolk

Today we went over the border into Suffolk, but needed no passports as my wife has dual Norfolk/Suffolk nationality.
We looked for Hawfinches around Sotterley Church (unsuccessfully), then headed to Minsmere RSPB Reserve, where we had excellent views of a Firecrest and also saw female Smew and several Pintail. It was warm but rather windy.
Excellent lunch in the Eel's Foot at Eastbridge, acompanied by a superbly kept pint of Adnams' "Oyster Stout".
