We drove out through the Suffolk countryside, lots of Pheasants in the fields and large flocks of Wood Pigeon moving aound. Arrived at Minsmere on a quite a busy day so decide to focus on the East side.
Looking out to sea was very unproductive, with just a few Great-crested Grebes to be seen a long way out. 
The water on the scrape was very high, so short legged waders were scarce, with just a hand full on Dunlin. There was quite a gathering of Black-tailed Godwits and some Avocets feeding. Gulls are in abundance and the Black-headed are pairing up in their raucous style, there is also quite a few Mediterranean Gulls evident but too far out to photograph.
Gadwall, Widgeon and Shellduck are also common place
