Another similar day with light but chilly NNE winds and hardly any new migrants; the sea was quiet as well with the highlights comprising a Shelduck, 19 Red-throated Divers, 3 Greylag Geese and a total of 2,455+ Cormorants again coming in from the north to head to their fishing grounds. Birds on the land included a Rook south, presumably the same Firecrest calling in the compound but remaining elusive, a Greenfinch and 5 Goldfinches.
An afternoon jaunt to just the other side of the docks to Trimley Marshes was very pleasant in the calm, bright conditions and produced a nice array of wintering Geese with a single Tundra Bean Goose, 2 Pink-footed Geese and c31 European White-fronted Geese, at least 4 Marsh Harriers including a fine adult male, plenty of ducks, 30 Avocets on the river, single Grey Plover and Knot, 4 Black-tailed Godwits and a singing Cetti’s Warbler.
