Robert Dougall recalls a memorable day he spent in May 1971 at this well-known Suffolk bird sanctuary of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, in the company of its Warden HERBERT AXELL.
They encountered many of the typical and rare marshland birds for which this reserve is famous, including two of exceptional rarity; all of which will be heard in recordings made at the time.
