I couldn’t resist a trip to see the Zitting Cisticola that has taken up residence on the seaward edge of Corporation Marshes at Walberswick.
Although it was found on Sunday today was the first opportunity I had to go so set my alarm for 5am and was on site by about 6.20. Luckily the bird was still present and with only a short wait it could be heard ‘zitting’ and then went on to show well perched and in song flight over the marsh. Although the scope views were great it wasn’t really within photographable range as the hasty phone-scoped image below shows! Also there were c15 Reed Buntings, Sedge Warbler, Yellow Wagtail and Bearded Tit on the walk back. Sea plants were also much in evidence with Sea Pea, Sea Mayweed, Sea Spurge, Sea Kale and Sea Campion.
