The wind was finally coming out of the SE and with a bit of cloud cover there was a smidgen of hope that there might be a couple of birds but it was another quiet morning with another 377 Brent Geese heading out of the river along with 18 Common Scoter, 2 Fulmars, 2 Common Terns, 3 Kittiwakes, 3 Mediterranean Gulls and 9 Sandwich Terns whilst the first fledgling Linnet appeared in the nets.
A walk down to Trimley Marshes via Loompit in the afternoon produced the highlight of 2 BLACK-WINGED STILTS on the Summer Flood – probably a pair as the male did a little display flight whilst I was there, calling away to the female who ignored him completely; other birds comprised 5 Ringed Plovers, 5 Black-tailed Godwits and 4 Little Egrets.
