The rear of the observatory from the Felixstowe - Harwich foot ferry.

Moving south 21 Black-headed Gull & a Swift with northbound Oyk & Sandwich Tern. Single Black Redstart on the reserve with the two young Kestrels back sitting in the nest box entrance still being fed completes the sightings worth a mention.
