Ness Point, Lowestoft.

Winter has returned with a North wind and fog.

Ness Point:  With all the above not much expected so with three SWIFT flying offshore hawking for flies is a surprise. One of the very few times that you can get to see this phenomena, with the birds flying fairly low over the water and heading strait into wind and holding there place as they let the wind do the job for them. KITTIWAKE heading out to see to feed and HERRING and LESSER GULLS  as  well. A single SWALLOW flying up and down the sea wall which was in itself a most glamorous bird with feathering as an adult. The speed of this bird and its agility is to be truly amazing. One GOLDFINCH and two PIED WAGTAIL one of which was a young bird having a bath. Even with all the rain it was still not wet enough. Other than that a single GREENFINCH on the sewer pump station perimeter wire.

Links Hill:  A KESTREL was trying its hardest to hunt in the strong wind but with only two GREENFINCH and a COMMON WHITETHROAT time to leave.
