A glorious morning, sunny and calm but with an increasing SW wind; a quiet morning was enlivened by the highlights of a Common Crane which I picked up circling over the river from where it drifted NE over the town and away and the first Wheatear of the year on the point in front of the Obs.
Other birds included 3 Bar-tailed Godwits south, 2 Chaffinches, single Fieldfare and Redwing, 2 Goldcrests, 7 Goldfinches, 4 Jackdaws, 42 Red-throated Divers south, a Rook, a Sparrowhawk, a Woodcock flushed and 10 Shelduck displaying first thing.
A walk down to Trimley Marshes in the increasing wind and cloud produced just 2 White-fronted Geese remaining, the usual 4 Marsh Harriers, 2 Cetti’s Warblers and a few early migrants including 8 Chiffchaffs and a Firecrest. Also of note were at least 3 Peacocks, a Comma and a Green-veined White.
