Suffolk – Ipswich & Levington – 25th January 2009

I always find it a bit bizarre, driving around a housing estate with my bins at the ready scanning for birds, but if you want to see Waxwing this is so often the case and discretion is defiantly the order of the day when you find about thirty birds commuting between the roof tops and a front garden. It was then off to Levington and a look along the shore line and the trout lake. Wet, windy and chilly as it was, this produced Black-tailed Godwit, Redshank, Turnstone, 100 Dunlin, Curlew, Grey Plover, Ringed Plover on the shore and Gadwall, Mute Swan, Tufted Duck, Widgeon & Pochard on the water. Life bird count: 376 Year bird count: 85 Month bird count: 85
