    Great Day at Minsmere saw a Turtle Dove by North Hide Bushes. Lots of Nightingales in song. Arrived at 6am and it is by far the best time to visit before it gets too busy.

    No Trips have been found in Suffolk for many years, Single birds can appear between Benacre and Corton infrequently in autumn, the nearest Trips I regularly see is in a field at Winterton North of Great Yarmouth

    Suffolk Birding

    Oulton Broad today. Loads of 1st, 2nd and ad win Laridae. Really grilled the area for Ring necked Ducks. Typically nothing. So far very poor for wintering Wildfowl. The American Wood Duck is now in full Drake Plumage. The much quieter Leathe's Ham produced some fine Wigeon and more variously...

I had hoped to see the Yellow-browed Warbler found yesterday but the council were cutting down the Tamarisks where the bird was found! Otherwise dead as...

    In 1989 I saw a roost of 57 Turtle Doves at Lound nr Lowestoft Suffolk in June. So In the days of good numbers of Turtle Doves they seemed to flock throughout the summer too

    Suffolk Birding

    I had six today on my patch, I often hear them on the coast on migration. I get confused with all the fancy names so I just list them as Redpolls. I am not interested in complicated lists just the record that the species is seen in my patch square

    After the empty fields and hedgerows of Pakefield (No DIM type illustrations of birds) I walked around Carlton Marshes I decided to check the horse paddocks but it was birdless, and I just attracted a "What are you doing" comment from a horse owner. The hedgerow held plenty of Continental...

    Thanks. the name is Carl Jay, you must have me confused with someone else. I did not realise that Lowestoft had produced so many Honey Buzzards, must be a good migration route

    Suffolk Birding

    Not much a few miles inland of Lowestoft. Of note Little Egret, Marsh Harrier, eight Bearded Tits, two Cettis Warblers. The wind probably put everything down. I am looking forward to visiting Lowestoft next week. Perhaps sea watching will produce. My recent claim of my no 15 Honey Buzzard was...

    Suffolk Birding

    My patch is 2 miles inland from the sea at Lowestoft and had Honey Buzzard no 15 fly over today! A single Wheatear was there and I get more satisfaction seeing one here than on the immediate coastline. Three Stonechats and five singing Cettis Warblers were great!
