Not my ringing day so I walked down to Trimley Marshes via Loompit; there was nothing too exciting but it was very pleasant in the calm and sunny conditions, birds seen included a single, lost-looking first-winter White-fronted Goose on Loompit with the Greylags, 4 Red-breasted Mergansers displaying in the river, at least 6-7 Whimbrel dotted around along the shore, 12 Black-tailed Godwits, 35 Avocets, the Little Gull still on Loompit, at least 6 Mediterranean Gulls, 8+ House Martins, an increase to 17+ Blackcaps along the route, a Whitethroat, a Yellow Wagtail and a Lesser Redpoll.
Back at Landguard, late afternoon produced 200+ Brent Geese moving north far out at sea in three big flocks, the singing Black Redstart, a Wheatear and at least 4 Mediterranean Gulls offshore.
