Great Suffolk birding

On Sunday 21st January, Walking over to the Dell, I could hear a Nuthatch calling and 1 flew back from the large tree towards the trees by the road. As I approached the pool by the Dell, a Woodcock suddenly got up and also flew towards the road. Walking over towards the Church, around 18 Fieldfare seen in the field to the left. Paul & Jane F were in the Churchyard along the westside looking east. Initially no Hawfinches were seen but Paul picked up 3 Hawfinches partially obscured in a distant tree. Then we saw some fly to the top of a Yew tree, 2 seen here well briefly. Then 6 flew and perched in a tree in the south- east corner of the churchyard, as we were watching them a further 12 Hawfinches flew over and north, totalling a magnificent 18 Hawfinches. 2 Nuthatch were at the Dell & c30 Fieldfare in bushes skirting the arable field. Joining Paul & Jane at Easton Bavents we walked up a track and 3 Tree Sparrow, 30 Yellowhammer seen flying from a set aside field and seen sat up in bushes bordering the field. I then drove to Lymballs Lane near Westleton, 10 Bewick's Swan (inc 3 immatures) were seen in a field right of the road just past a large barn. From Eastridge just past the bridge, in the rain, overlooking flashes to the left of the road the Glossy Ibis was seen feeding. A Long- tailed Duck with a group of c20 Common Scoter on sea viewable from NE corner Dunwich car park. Finally in Hamilton Dock, a fine adult male Eider at Lowestoft rounds off a good birding day in Suffolk, pity about the weather!
