Herringfleet Marshes.

Light cold wind from the south with inter cloud for the day.

Herringfleet Marshes:  Had to change place of regular parking seems that Somerlyton Estate has gained back control from the Broads Authority. Wonder what's going on there. More than likely money?
The walk down brought in COAL TIT and a really large flock of LONG TAILED.  As soon as I got out on the marsh a pair of COMMON BUZZARD flew East this side of the Waveney. This was followed sometime later with a male MARSH HARRIER.  I had 7 GREYLAG GEESE and 5 EGYPTIAN. One of these birds was still showing signs of youth with a very light head. 11 MUTE SWAN which is down but good to see 2 SHOVELORE and 4 TEAL. A flyover of 50 LAPWING is always good. On return through wood 8 REDWING on the scene. Saw the visit out with 28 species in all.
