It was a very good start to the day as we caught sight of a Peregrine weaving around the dockside building in Ipswich. Then on the track down to the Marina some one had caught sight of Corn Bunting and Brambling feeding on a distant discarded small field of maize.
We strolled around the Marina and picked up the Black-necked Grebe very quickly as it dived for food amongst the moored boats. Birders were gathering into quite a group so we made an exit and headed to the Loompit Trout Lake where all the regular were; Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Mute Swan, Redshank, Pochard, Wigeon, Moorhen, Coot, Meadow Pipit, Common Gull and Cormorant all making for a great stroll round.
