Rat for breakfast anyone ?

A Shag coming in off & over the roof is quite likely to be the same individual as the one seen a few days ago on a similar flight path.  A couple of hours sea watching produced southbound 6 Red-throated Diver, 5 Wigeon & Guillemot with northbound 8 Common Scoter & 6 Teal. 162 Cormorant headed out to the fishing grounds. A Rock Pipit on the point went high north presumably to the groynes along Felixstowe promenade. At least 55 Common Gull & 9 Kittiwake were offshore. Finally a new "British" race Song Thrush is probably just escaping colder conditions inland and has retreated to the milder seaside.

Ringing: 1 Song Thrush
