Breydon South Wall and Oulton Broad

Breydon: The walk along south wall was to say the least rather windy with it set to the West. But made the best of it with BLACK TAILED GODWIT 60+  and WIGEON by the thousand all on the far side. In Lounge Lizard land GREY PLOVER, SANDLING, CURLEW, REDSHANK, I also picked up on a distant MARSH HARRIER which was struggling in the wind to feed.

             

Oulton Broad:   Seeing that a few odd gulls had been seen the previous day thought I would give it look and the local troop where there. So with help we initially found what can only be described as a lucistic LESSER-BLACK-BACKED-GULL and followed that with a 1st winter GLAUCOUS GULL. which spent about 10 minuets cleaning itself down for the night. The light was failing fast so my pic's are poor. Again I picked up on another MARSH HARRIER well over Carlton Marsh and yet another raptor with no id miles off.
