Observation details

4 Seemed unusually pale and were separate from the other 2. Size difficult to assess. Suspicious for Ipswich. All were on the rocky beach feeding in the seaweed. Addendum on 29/4/24 - I circulated these images on the Ipswich Sparrow Project FB page and elsewhere, and 3 experts who are very familiar with this form, agreed that it is an Ipswich.
