Hen Reed Bed, Suffolk.

Bright but fresh day. The first of many, you'll be so lucky.

Sotterly:   Call in for Hawfinch, again you'll be so lucky.

Wrentham: Call in for Great Grey Shrike, you'll be so lucky.

Hen Reed Bed:  On arrival a male MARSH HARRIER flew in close by and was joined by a female some minuets latter. One other bird seen while we where there. We also put up a SNIPE which dived into reed bed without any hesitation, no surprise there. plenty of noisy GREY LAG GEESE about 50 birds in all. I also heard but did not view BEARDED TIT and saw REED BUNTING. 3 MEADOW PIPIT and some SKYLARK on meadow across river inlet. REDSHANK in good numbers as was OYSTERCATCHER which was where all intent on calling each other. We also had one BARN OWL which quartered reed bed for over 30 minuets. Seen catching something but did not go anywhere with it. Flocks of DUNLIN and RINGED PLOVER on main river, with BLACK TAILED GODWIT. On return we did not have to look far for SISKIN which on the way out we had put to fright. So managed reasonable picture of the same.
