We had to get out before the promised bad weather, so off to the “interior” it was.
We started at Lynford Arboretum, on the now flooded gravel pits found amongst other wildfowl a Ferruginous Duck and Red-necked Grebe. Within the Arboretum itself there was a mixed flock of Goldfinch & Redpoll and a single Siskin, plus plenty of Marsh Tits feeding in the branches and on the tree trunks, along with the oc
casional Treecreeper.
Next stop was Santon Downham, not a great deal to be seen here except for some grazing Highland Cattle and the opportunity to photograph some foraging Blackbirds and catch sight of the more timid Redwing.
Finally it was off to Hockwold Fen and a very quick walk out through the reed beds before it got too dark. A distant Great Grey Shrike, Stonechat and alas only heard Reedling.
