Day one of a 5 night stay in Suffolk. After the long drive down this morning, I spent the afternoon at RSPB Minsmere.
The second bird I saw was a Bittern flying over the reedbed.
I walked to the beach and spent some time watching Sandwich terns fishing. Some of them were on the island on the reserve along with Common terns.
This Shelduck had chased this female mallard and her ducklings out of the water.
This Oystercatcher was on its nest, well camouflaged, while its partner had a preen.
There were about a dozen Black-tailed godwits feeding and then this Bar-tailed flew in to join them.
A steady 5 mile stroll, with a day list of 40 birds, including 2 year ticks. Returning to the reserve on Wednesday.
