The weather was so good on Thursday after such a run of awfull weather so i decided today would be a rewarding day for some birdwatching! So i started off at the patch and i had only stepped out of the van a few seconds when i looked up to see a
Peregrine going over thunder lane towards the city.At the water I had 2 x
Common Sandpipers on the Broad spit and a couple of
Great Crested Grebes . 5x
Common Whitethroats,1x
Grasshopper reeling and 5x
Cettis Warblers were picked up along the way round. Migration was really happening here with large amount of
Blackcaps and
Sedge Warblers too. I got back home to bath the little one and nipped back out to Surlingham Marshes for around 7 pm. I had only walked down a few yards along the river to hear a
Cuckoo! I quickly got on it as it called from near by tree top.

I continued on and heard plenty of
Blackcaps and a couple of
Cettis as i arrived at the Lagoon.A few
Gadwall and
Teal were present with a lonely l
apwing.Over head was a soaring
Common Buzzard. i then scanned out again to see the
Cuckoo which now come closer and then saw a
Hen Harrier (ringtail) go over towards Rockland. As i got round to the start i decided to go round again as it was such a gorgeous evening.As the sun set a
Grasshopper Warbler begun to reel .Perfect end to a great bit of birding!
