Distant Goshawk in the murk
Distant pair of displaying Ravens in the murk.
Distant singing Woodlark in the murk.
A singing Mistle Thrush y’day, was noteworthy, 3 chasing each other around the garden today.

Later still, no sign of the local Stone Curlew again, but 1, maybe 2 prs of Goshawk, a pr Ravens and singing Woodlarks were good.

Peregrine on its favoured spot. Sitting on a Gargoyle’s head.
The local Pigeons are not keen on settling on the Church when one of the Peregrines is up there.
A couple of old friends popped up today. The Water Rail in the millstream, that has been MIA for over a month, and one of the Peregrines on the church, that I’ve not seen for a week or two. It was keeping the local Feral Pigeons on their toes.

Purple Sandpipers at Ness Point Lowestoft. These birds are so interesting to watch, scampering over the rocks with waves crashing around them. Won't be long before they migrate north to their breeding grounds. #Birds #SuffolkBirds

It was good to see the Hume's Warbler at Lowestoft on 14/2/26. It gave brief views in the morning, and then wasn’t seen for a few hours: I relocated it early afternoon, in the north-east corner of Sparrow's Nest Gardens, where it showed very well.

The drizzle stopped and the sun just about broke through the greyness yesterday so we nipped to Lowestoft for another look at the Humes Warbler on the Denes which showed beautifully. Then on to Ness Point for the wintering Purple Sandpipers #suffolkbirds

Some birds today, with a Raven at a local nest site, on the way to Sainsburys (other retailers are available)
Also a little drive out of town, and some Bewick’s Swans with Whooper Swans, though most were too distant to differentiate. Possibly only my 2nd sighting in my 10K⭕️

Peregrines this afternoon. Female above and male below, on the Gargoyle of the local church, as viewed from the Kitchen.
Watched the male Peregrine eating (a Pigeon?) this morning, whilst I was eating my breakfast (not a Pigeon).
Late afternoon he flew in again to his favourite Gargoyle and was joined by the female on the battlements of the church.
Don’t often see them both at the same time. #SuffolkBirds

Slightly longer 🚲 this morning, muscles protested mildly. Geese have moved onto Shalford Meadow, ~200 Canadas still with a Barnacle, Greylags & at least 6 WF right by Henny Bridge. The single Herring Gull has returned to his spot on the Common too, nice to see him back! #essexbirding #suffolkbirds
