Just the one Red-leg remains singing his heart out.

Cold with a northerly wind. Offshore the first Spring Pomarine Skua for six years flew north although little else moving with 5 Kitts & 3 Gannet as good as it got in several hours observation. On site 2 Reed Warbler, Blackcap, Chiffchaff & an elusive male Pied Fly although birding not at all pleasant in the cold wind.

The first Suffolk record of Toadflax Brocade was here in 2001 since when it has colonised urban areas where it's foodplant occurs. This is the first one here for three years despite it now living & thriving in Felixstowe.

Ringing: 2 Linnet, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Reed Warbler.
