We have just come back from a week in Suffolk, staying again in Eastbridge. Normally we would have taken a daily walk down to the sea at Minsmere but the intense rain of the previous weeks meant this path was completely flooded (above welly level!) as were a number of the roads. In contrast we had a lovely week of (mainly) bright skies and sun.
No intense birding this week but Suffolk is the kind of
place you can’t help bumping into wildlife…
But pick of the sightings for me were at least four different adders…
And two singing Woodlarks…
Despite forty odd years of birding, and a number of sightings
of the species, this was the first time I had actually heard their (beautiful)
song.
Back home today and a quick walk out was quiet for birds but
I did see both Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock on the wing in Morton-on-Swale.
Easily the earliest village record for both species.
