South Bank Breydon

Walk in bright sunshine from main car park to pumping station and return.

The best birds were two LITTLE TERNS which flew close by and heading up stream west. Followed by COMMON SANDPIPER 1 and Female MARSH HARRIER. I stopped counting SKYLARK at 28 but did not stop in regards to REED BUNTING which made 17. I only saw 2 female. REED WARBLER calling and seen as well as loads of SEDGE WARBLERS. 7 LAPWING chasseing CROWS and GREY HERON of which I saw 4. 3 OYSTERCATCHER. 5 REDSHANK. I also saw several LINNETS both nesting and fly by. But there was obvious nesting of COMMON WHITETHROAT as well. 2 MALLARD and a 3 CORMORANT. BLACK HEADED and HERRING GULL but not that many. 3 CURLEW and a flock of 9. But other side in foreign land. however in Lizard Land a pair of LITTLE EGERET.

                            But best was what I believe to be this FOUR SPOTTED CHASER.

                                                  
This is a WALL BROWN. which supposedly is becoming
                                                                    increasingly rare.
