Breydon water,South Side.

Walk along to Roman fort and then along wall for about 2 miles and return to car. Still with ice under foot and not the best walking environment. Although still overcast with sun trying hard to make show it seems that WIGEON however were to put in a big appearance with what I should imagine is about 800 birds up and down the river. Best bird was a male MARSH HARRIER which decided to put an appearance by soaring right over our heads. Also a good sighting for the Breydon was a pair of GOLDENEYE other than the fleeting view of a BULLFINCH female under the fort. So that brings out the rest. MALLARD,GREAT-CRESTED-GREBE,HOODED CROW,CURLEW,REDSHANK,LONG-TAILED-TIT,GREAT-SPOTTED WOOD,MAGPIE,FIELDFARE,BLUE TIT,GREAT TIT. One unusual occurrence was the sound of ice crashing against itself while coming down the Breydon, like being in the Artic.
