A calmer and all round pleasant day for birding in Suffolk today. Plenty of Chiffchaffs and some Blackcaps showing face; one Blackcap with a short burst of song! 1 Black Redstart has reappeared around the practice guns and 1 male Wheatear still in the fenced area by the point. A new Song Thrush showing 'greyer' tones suggesting continental origin. Other migrants include 2 Sanderling, 2 Med Gull North, 2 White Wagtail and another new Cetti's warbler!
5 Turnstone today in Winter plumage can usually be spotted on the beach.
Today also saw the first Shuttle-shaped Dart of the year. This is about when we expect to start seeing them and will potentially become our most numerous moth.
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 6 Chiffchaff, 3 Linnet, 1 Song Thrush
