Spent some of the day fishing so an opportunity to watch birds as well as float.
Best bird was a high flying COMMON BUZZARD above the Waveney heading East. Very high like 2000 feet. Also a COMMON WHITETHROAT kept putting in an appearance behind where I sat as did a CHIFF and WILLOW WARBLER. Plenty of Hirundo action on the wires as they all began to leave before 4 pm. 2 MARSH SANDPIPERS where busy feeding and flew at the same time. PIED WAGTAIL and Goldfinch as well as GREENFINCH. The laugh of a GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER broke the silence occasionally.
HOME: Sat in the garden when a MERLIN flew through a female bird which came from the garden next door low and saw me a skirted off south between the houses. A first for me as a garden tick.
Also Jonathan took a pic of a HERRING GULL with colour ring. I assume it is a ORFORD bird as it was red rung. We will wait and see.
