    lovely day yes by all accounts it was a good weekend for birding in Suffolk, I follow a couple of local guys on twitter and there were lots of raptors migrating over the Lowestoft area, so I tripped off to Pakefield Beach for an hour, but only managed a female Marsh Harrier going over & not...

    Carlton Marshes just back from a stunning walk at Carlton Marshes. I took the dog and the camera so didn't take any bins which in hindsight was a mistake. But I did flush a stunning Woodcock on the main path from the visitors centre right at the start of my walk. Also some Snipe further down...

    No I didn't see the Hoopoe, apparently the Peregrine off the corn store had chased it off about 45 minutes before I arrived. I did see the Black Throat though, but there was a lot of people about.... I didn't stick around for long as I had stuff I had to do. None there this morning though - I...

    They roost under the South pier and under the Harbour walls, they are amazing, I often watch them on my drive home & a couple times I've stood on Lowestoft Bridge and just enjoyed the spectacle.

    I think you can also walk out of Normanston Park the way you drove in and turn right and walk along the grass verge towards Bannatynes gym and then turn down a footpath just before it which seems to have appeared which will take you to the other side of the Ham. Not sure if this is a...

    Yes park in Normanston Park next to the cafe and walk along the bottom of the park next to the water heading west (? my geography is dreadful) you will walk behind tennis courts, follow the path down past the houses and voila there is a railway bridge that takes you over the railway line and...

    Dave if you drive as if you are going to Minsmere and drive past the turning onto the reserve from the village of Westleton, basically following the signs that the RSPB have put out for the parking for the red deer rut. I parked where the RSPB directed on the left hand side of the heath and...

    I went to Westleton Heath to watch the Red Deer rut last night and had lovely views of the Stone Curlew there - they were much more interesting than the Red Deer imho ;)
