…and all in East Anglia! Right this moment’s goal was one other long-staying hen – a juvenile Brown Shrike at Hollesley, close to my outdated stamping floor, the Rendlesham Forest. An early begin ought to have seen Brian and me on web site by 8.00am: in truth there have been so many street blockages and detours, it took us an hour longer! Nonetheless, luckily the hen was simple to see (which was a aid) though pictures was by way of two chain-link fences – not excellent!
Different birds included Woodlark, Crossbill and Dartford Warbler – none of which we managed to {photograph} – earlier than shifting south east to Shingle Road. An excellent stroll round failed so as to add something to the day record, and neither did a trudge round Minsmere. (Nonetheless: lunch in a bit of farm store close to Westleton was good!) And so house…
