A nice male ring ouzel was a great start to the mornings observations and he stuck around for the entire morning. Less expected was a lesser redpoll that dropped into the compound and briefly sang before moving on. Singing redpoll is not something that's been heard here in a long time, if at all. The wind picked up throughout the morning until it was a very strong northerly, and the birds wisely started to keep their heads down.
Northern Drab is mostly confined to the coast in south-east Suffolk, with just the odd one here in most years.
Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1, Linnet 2, Robin 1.
