Sizewell Suffolk.

Called in for just a short walk round.

 

One surprise was that there where no Tern's of any description around the outlet. Which I would have thought would have been the case, but then I was wrong. More around Lowestoft than around this venue. We had good views of a hawking HOBBY which continued to feed on the wing on and of for the hour we where there. The only passerine was the usual BLACK REDSTART which included an a adult bird and a juvenile. The young bird was well able to fend for itself, but the sad thing was the that this birds days are numbered. The photograph is enough to tell its own story. I doubt if it is the result of Sizewell, if it is then we are all at risk. But I wouldn't think that it is a genuine case of avian pox, or a growth. The sighting of it is unusual as it is not totally on the face as is often seen. Especially from birds on feeders.

The only other bird of interest was hunting low over the fields. COMMON BUZZARD at Kelsale near Saxmundum.
