Does anyone on here actually do any birding these days?!
Surlingham Church Marsh yesterday remains quiet for the time being, although Duck numbers were up on the lagoon including a returning Teal. Highlight was a Kingfisher fishing the lagoon before bombing off in the direction of the river and Norwich. Aside from Lapwing, No Waders of late, water levels very much up and down, never quite hitting prime wader level! Snipe are back feeding somewhere, but as usual out of sight until they fly.
Not seen by me, but closer to the city a flock of 5 Greenshank was a good record at Thorpe Marshes. See here: http://shakysbirdingblog.blogspot.com/
Can anyone please provide information regarding access to the hide at Rush Hill scrape, Hickling? For those that may not know, the traditional route was to park at Potter Heigham Church and walk, but I am aware there has been some ongoing flood defence work on the Weaver's Way footpath.
Paul and James- thanks for the bird info, it does get read and is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim.
