Suffolk – Combs Wood – 3rd April 2011

Watch out for: Summer visitors, Woodpeckers, Tits and Wildflowers

This ancient woodland was recorded in the domesday book and although quite small it is a rich place to walk around at any time of the year.

We were particularly looking for “spring arrivals” and the number of singing Chiffchaffs was very noticeable along with at least one Blackcap.  Alas no Nightingales yet (they do normally at least pass through).  However we did get a Marsh Tit and numerous Robins & Wrens singing for their territory.

More photos of the flowers to follow.
