An altogether local outing today, with the light just perfect it was time to give the scope a rest and go for some photographs.
Our first stop was Ipswich Park for Moorhen, Mallard, Jay, Long-tailed Tit and Sparrowhawk. Some good views also of Black-headed Gulls doing what they do best…. feed!
Next we moved on down to Trimley Trout Lake, large numbers of Brent Geese, Widgeon, Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Coot & Mute Swan. Plus Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Meadow Pipit, Little Egret and Grey Heron. For the detail there were single Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls in the raft of Black-headed, Herring and Common, but we only identified Yellow-legged and a Black Brant was reported amongst the Brent, but again not personally seen.
Life bird count: 358 Year bird count: 63 Month bird count: 63
