Thanks very much Ed and Jim. With those directions and the map should have no problems in getting there! -

Thinking of going down to Alton Water to try and see the Great northern Divers tomorrow morning. Reading on here and Suffolk Bins, sounds like Larchwood is the place to go but the map ive got doesn't mark it. Could anyone tell me how to get to it? Thanks -
Suffolk Birding
Went to Minsmere this afternoon, top priority the Bluetail! After standing in the bushes for a while, got nice views of the bird. Nice rusty flanks and steely blue tail, what a great bird. Little bit concerned though as to see it people had to go actualy into the bushes, not giving it much... -

Went to Boyton this morning to see the Glossy Ibises. All three were showing well which was great, and very close to the the viewing area too! My first in Britain, cracking birds. Then spent an hour at the Thorpeness caravan park which was very slow. A half hour seawatch produced 8 Gannets, not... -

Visited North Warren and Thorpeness this morning. Little at North Warren apart from a single Green sand and a Tern, probably a Common but too distant to say for sure. Then went to some bushes near Thorpeness on the sea, not sure what the area is called. Lots of activity here as blackberries... -

Good morning at Minsmere today, with two Whinchat in vegetation on East scrape as well as a Green Sandpiper. Very little water though so south and west hides were better for waders. 5 Spot shanks at south and 2 little ringed plovers at west. Then got back to the visitor centre and saw... -

Just finished doing my work experience at Minsmere so have been speaking to the rangers about the birds nesting. The Sand Martins are indeed at Dunwich and the Little Terns have moved further up the coast. The Sandwich Terns are some consolation though, as they haven't nested at Minsmere in a... -

A good day on sunday. Firstly a Turtle Dove purring for much of the morning near my house and a Hobby over early afternoon. Then went to Minsmere at 4:30 ish, which was really good! Got into the E. hide and looked at the sightings board, and it had 1 Temminck's Stint! After 5 or so minutes of... -

Sounds like a good day! Your moth is a Latticed Heath. -

I agree with Jim, I've always done better with Dartfords at Westleton Heath. Seen them there on pretty much every visit. -
Suffolk Birding
Went to Bawdsey and Shingle Street on Sunday morning. At Bawdsey the Red crested Pochard was showing relatively distantly on the first lagoon, a nice county tick. Also a flock of Linnet with a few Reed Bunting in the bushy things on the path up from the lagoons. A few Swallows and Sand Martins... -

A good afternoon at Minsmere today, from about 4 to 6. First off a Nightingale singing in bushes near the pond in the old car park, was great to hear again. In the East hide another birder pointed out two Caspian Gulls to me which was really good as they were only my 2st and 3rd. A good variety... -

Hello everyone, another Suffolk birder here. Visited Minsmere this morning, highlights being 5 Mediterranean Gulls on the scrape, as well as quite a few waders the pick of which was a single Spotted Redshank. At sea a single Red throated Diver and 4 Great crested Grebes were seen. Also a few...
