Went over to Felixstowe Ferry first thing where it still felt very wintery with the chilly but light northerly breeze and clear skies; there were a few migrants around despite the weather which included my first Whitethroat of the year – a smart male giving little snatches of song, at least 3 Yellow Wagtails in the fields, my overdue first White Wagtail of the year on the golf course, an increase to five singing Sedge Warblers, a Blackcap and a nice group of six spangly summer plumaged Golden Plover.
Other birds comprised the pair of Little Owls at their box again, 2 Avocets, 4 Mediterranean Gulls and 6 Little Egrets.
In the afternoon I had a little walk round Upper Hollesley Common where despite the chilly conditions I had good views of a singing Woodlark and a fine male Dartford Warbler which seemed to be following a pair of Stonechats around.
