Been a little while since I’ve posted, a combination of
family holiday in Suffolk and, frankly, little to report but today I walked along
the river downstream of Morton Bridge.
Highlights were three Greenshank, a very good count for the
parish and my first new ‘tick’ since May…
Other waders included two distant Green Sandpipers, a Common
Sandpiper, 50+ Lapwings and a good count of 18 Snipe all flushed from the river
bank.
Two Little Egret were also on the river…
As well as three Grey Partridge and Kingfisher.
Elsewhere Paul Thompson photographed a Short-eared Owl
sitting in a harvested wheat field near Ladyfield Farm last weekend and there
were reports of a Red Kite near the river, undoubtedly the same bird that Andy
Johnston reported in Scruton last week.
Away from birds I had nice views of Brown Hawker and Common
Darter…
As well as my first Wall butterfly of the year…
