Hen Reed Bed, Suffolk.

Just a short call in to take a look and see if there is anything much around wind was north easterly and cold still.

Best bird was the sighting of two BITTERN which seem to be flying from way back at the end and dropping into the reeds. The view was ok through scope but in real terms they where not close. But at least the sun was on them.
I also had three GREY HERONS and a pair of MARSH HARRIER. Who seem to have taken to there normal spot to breed. There was also a mother MALLARD with  five ducklings and a pair of DABCHICK who seemed rather odd. SEDGE WARBLER calling and fleeting glimpses as well as WATER RAIL heard. Plenty of SWIFTS about as well as HOUSE MARTIN and SAND. Not to forget the beautiful SWALLOW. PIED WAG and WHITETHROAT as well just to finish up.
