Ness Point, Lowestoft.

Visibility good and little haze. North wind light. Warm but hot inland.

NESS POINT:  

First bird of any significance was a single GANNET flying south. Once eye was in a I found in total 9 birds. Another surprise was two single WHIMBRAL flying north about 10 minuets apart. Both at usual distance about 1 mile off shore. A single juvenile SHELLDUCK flying north.  Distant but visible was a flock of 7 COMMON SCOTER flying south well out. But I did miss out on two duck flying out to see from shore no idea on id. A single COMMON SCOTTER flew close in heading north on its own. But of interest was a single RINGED PLOVER flying south literally yards offshore. Increasing numbers of SANDWICH and COMMON TERN. With KITTYWAKES feeding close in and far off.

FRITTON GREAT WOOD: 

Several RED DRAGONFLIES and large and small BROWN BUTTERFLIES. I also picked up on a a single COMA. It was also interesting to hear crickets in the long grass, something to remind me of my childhood.
CHAFFINCH, BLUE TIT, COAL TIT, GOLDCREST and young. MUNCKJACK DEER, plus a pair of suspected MINK. But the best was a JAY having a bath in the cottage pond.
