Left Lowestoft and headed up to Great Yarmouth and North Dene's to the sound of high flying SKYLARK. The Lark Ascending is a joy. A few CARRION CROW and a single BLACKBIRD. We then headed for Acle via Caister. Turned of left a mile past Caister Castle and travelled the eight miles to Stocksby. Each year have done this ride on a good day in the spring. To say it was disappointing is a limited statement. So what did I pick up on, a single pair of RED LEGGED PARTRIDGE. and three CHIFFCHAFF and one CHAFFINCH. 70 CARRION CROW in a ploughed field. Tragically that was it, Ever felt for the situation of our bird life, this was it. Was desperate in regards to other years. Disappointed.
As for Stocksby it was fair, 1 GREENFINCH, 3 SWALLOW, 1 GREY HERON, 1 MARSH HARRIER, STARLING, EGYPTION GOOSE, MUTE SWAN on its nest. Also a single PIED WAG (Yarnelie)
Reedham saw some more important with 3 GREENFINCH, male MARSH HARRIER, Pair of MALLARD and three CHINES WATER DEER. PEID WAGTAIL and 19 HOUSE SPARROW.
Back road to Haddisco was more encouraging, with 10 CHIFFCHAFF, 1 BLACKCAP,
Pathways: Today a lat call in with a pair pf KINGFISHER and a LONG TAILED TIT going into its nest, CHIFFCHAFF 3, and one BLACKCAP, 2 LITTLE GREBE and STOCK DOVE.
