The first widely available Alpine Swift was found by Marc Outen at Hadleigh Castle just as he was about to start a 10k run; no bins, just phone video to help get the news out.
Thankfully it went on to stay for most of the day generally around the Salvation Army Tea Rooms car park and above the wood just to the North West.
The light was bad with heavy cloud and the bird did mostly stay quite high but it was seen low on a couple occasions and was seen being chased by a Black-headed Gull at one point.
Despite the poor light I managed to get some usable images which are represented here.
Quailty find, quality bird
