Please keep your eyes open for colour ringed gulls around Felixstowe which are rather partial to fish & chips discarded by the public.

Southbound 29 Black-headed Gull, 10 Curlew, 5 Sandwich Tern, 2 Barnacle Geese, Common Tern & Swallow with northbound 9 Little Tern & 3 Oyk. No grounded migrants but plenty of baby birds.


First noted in the UK in 1984 and here in 2010 Cypress Carpet has become regular in the last three years despite its food-plant being only as close as the Custom's House.

Ringing: 12 Linnet, 3 Dunnock, 3 House Sparrow, 2 Starling, 2 Whitethroat, 2 Wood Pigeon, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Wren.
