Suffolk – Bawdsey – 26th December 2009

We took a run out to the coast this morning and the first stop is the estuary at Bawdsey Manor where, on the shoreline there were Redshank and Dunlin along with Shellduck.

We then took the short drive up “the lane” to the pits where there were Pochard, Widgeon, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Shoveler, Gadwall and Teal. All enduring a cold wind off the North Sea.

Finally on our way home we catch a Merlin skimming along the hedge row.
