A few hours out with young people today on the COD programme with Suffolk Wildlife Trust. We had with us a representative of Natural England or whatever it is now and introduced the youngsters to what it takes to keep pathways clear from overhanging branches and encroaching vegetation. In other words we put them to work.
A flock of some 100 BRENT GEESE was intent on feeding very close to the path. With very little between us and the cliff it made for a good views and a good sound when they kept lifting of. The surprise was that they where all DARK BELLIED BRENT and no Pale ones amongst them. The only other attraction was that they had 7 GREY LAG GEESE who just could not make them out.
MARSH HARRIER: 2 Females over the reed bed which flew well when disturbed by helicopter.
SKYLARK: 8 birds content to feed amongst REDWING on top of cliff.
MALLARD: The only duck seen and about 30.
SONG THRUSH: Near cottages in the garden at the start of footpath.
CHAFFINCH, CROW, ROOK, JACKDAW MAGPIE, MUTE SWAN, COMMON GULL, HERRING, plus 1 SEAL.
