Suffolk – Landguard & Trimley Trout Lake - 6th June 2009

Bright early mornings at this time of year are always good for birding; things are settling down with all the summer visitors here and breeding, thus making locations and habitats more predictable. Landguard was flush with feeding Linnets, Blackbirds, Meadow Pipits, Starlings & Ringed Plover. There was also a party of Juvenile Pied Wagtails and a couple of grazing Oystercatchers moving across the open areas. At Trimley it was a story of breeding ducks Mallard & Tufted, plenty of Mute Swans and Greylag, plus Common Tern over and feeding Reed Warblers in the margins. Up in the surrounding woodland, again feeding were Whitethroat & Chaffinch.
Life bird count: 387 Year bird count: 202 Month bird count: 57
