Watch out for: Wildfowl, Gulls & Waders
Taking the opportunity to arrive at this site before seven in the morning gave a wonderful light to look out across the fishing lake and the Orwell estuary. Ducks and Geese were very much the order of the day with Greylag, Canada & Brent all very close.
On the sands there were numerous Redshanks, the odd Ringed Plover, a Grey Plover and a handful of Curlew.
In the surrounding shrubs and trees Song Thrushes & Chiffchaff were singing and Reed Buntings flitted around trying to attract each others attention. A proper spring morning and no one about, great!
Life bird count: 399. Year bird count: 115. Month bird count: 75.
