Castle Marsh. SWT

Bright with strong south wind gave it a chill to say the least. Birding was  reasonable with 15 lapwing on the marsh and several EGYPTION GEESE as well. Why they tend to hang around the gulls is not obvious but it seems apparent that the two have some area of affinity. The gull roast was well up to 200 birds and movement n and out was continues. MUTE SWAN numbers where reasonably high but 9 left and headed of to Beccles. I also had a fly over COMMON BUZZARD at Barnby bends. There was also a KESTREL on the telephone lines as well. I also had a TREECREEPER as can be seen below as well as MARSH TIT, COAL TIT, LONG TAILED TIT, GREAT TIT, BLUE TIT, as well as CHAFFINCH and a fly through SPARROW HAWK.
