Clear frosty morning. Only thing slightly different was the first Collared Dove since November 12th last year. Up until a couple of year's back we had a healthy population that would have even been sitting on eggs or feeding young at this time of the year but numbers have plummeted. One gets the impression that the decline is not just here but across Felixstowe but very few people keep accurate records of this ubiquitous species. 7 Med Gull in the harbour is highest count for a while.
