After a well timed message from GPC to say ND had found a pretty unseasonal Richard's Pipit at Chowder Ness at Barton, i made the short journey over to have a look.
The bird had been found feeding along the grass banks of Chowder Ness tidal realignment area, but on arrival there was no one looking, but thankfully i bumped into birding buddy, Darren Wozencroft.
He said he had possibly seen the bird, but it had maybe flown along the edge of the new workings between Chowder and Far-ings.
After walking along the area and drawing a blank, Darren went for a look from Ness hide for a while and i went back to Chowder and after a short while i located the bird.
It was feeding along the grass banks on the eastern side of Chowder, but for no reason it got up flew over my head calling and into an open area in the reedbed to perhaps roost.
A brief sighting, but it was nice to see and hear one again.
Darren and myself had another look, but it had obviously gone to roost and we wandered back to Far-ings.
Before i left for home, i took some photos of a lovely sunset which was really colourfull.
