Suffolk – Bawdsey (East Lane) - 25th September 2010

I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to excuse the brief diversion from my sequence  of reports on our N. Cyprus trip, but this weekend we did a run out to see and hopefully photograph the recently reported Red-necked Grebe at Bawdsey. 

I have to say this was totally successful and well worth the early start to get the light and be the only folk there.  As you can see the bird is a juvenile and clearly displaying its markings.  Also on the pits were Garganey, Redshank, Tufted Duck & Wigeon. 

Further down the road to towards the Deben estuary we saw our first Redwing of the autum.

Life bird count: 396   Year bird count: 247  Month bird count: 105
