Links Hill and North Denes

Out today with Suffolk Wildlife and the COD team. Great group of youngsters from Denes High School. Set them a task of orienteering around the cliff. Good see kids who education find it difficult with using the greatest ability they have. Enthusiasm.

On arrival there where three MED GULLS two of which where colour rung. These birds where together, adult and rung as E861 and 8T21 this birds ring was damaged and so could read BT21. which I doubt.

There was a flock of 20 LINNET which with REDWING and FIELDFARE where roving about. These birds where interspersed with LAPWING which have been forced onto the coast by the extremity of the weather. Several crows about, but in view that one was eating the yellow stuff that has turned up on the foreshore it makes you wonder if they will not suffer for it. The environment agency has made a statement that it is none hazardous. What ever that means. So why have the coast guards got surfers out of the water.
