Garden birdwatch first then Somerleyton & Ashby

On Sunday 29th January, early on for the RSPB garden birdwatch included the foillowing: 2 Blackbirds, a Dunnock, a calling Great Tit, 2 Blue Tits and 1 Robin and that was it! No sign of our near resident Wood Pigeon, or Greenfinches or Jackdaws. A mid afternoon look on Sunday 29th January revealed a lovely Red Kite flying past the woods behind Somerleyton Church and it flew across the fields, always a very replendant and graceful bird. Up to 3 mewing Buzzards also seen, but sadly the Raven hadn't lingered this would have been a Lizardland tick but its only matter of time before this ginormous Corvid is added though! No luck around Ashby & Lound looking for Little Owls which have become very scarce locally, so much so, that I didn't see one at all last year.
