Had a spare few hours today so headed to a very chilly SWT Lackford Lakes to see the drake Green-winged Teal that has been on the Slough for a few days, there were also a pair of Goldeneye on the Sailing Lake & at least 4 Crossbills beside Plover Lake plus lots of Siskin and Redwing #Suffolkbirding

Enjoyed a very pleasant @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social boat trip on the River Ore and Butley River on Sunday, was interesting to observe a good number of waders from the boat. Also before the trip I managed to see the North Warren shrike which was showing very well #Suffolkbirding

Nice walk around the village this morning with 42 species recorded on my birdtrack.bsky.social list. Seems to have been an increase in Blackbirds and Wood Pigeons over the last couple of days and a few Swallows went over heading south #suffolkbirding

Brilliant day at @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social Lackford Lakes for the last day of the school summer holidays. The highlight was definitely the 12 Crossbill that showed well enough for a few phone scoped pictures #suffolkbirding

A different walk today heading north of the village but still in the parish was very interesting. With a calling Spotted Flycatcher, a purring Turtle Dove and a very brief view of a warbler disappearing into a patch of brambles never to be seen again
that looked a lot like a Gropper #suffolkbirding

Some time at All Saints Church, Holbrook, this morning resulted in two good views of some of the Hawfinch that have been visiting there for a while now. Then, on to Stoke Sailing Club to have a look on the Orwell, finding two Great Northern Diver & good numbers of waders & wildfowl #suffolkbirding
