Firecrest trio: special offer 3 for 1 at Asda!

My especial thanks to Rob H whose fabulous picture had adorned the header of this blog!, but no longer! On Saturday 25th March, after hearing of a Great Spotted Cuckoo at Easton bavents on Friday, I got up early and decided to have breakfast at lowestoft Asda and await news, initial news was negative, so on opening the door, near the Pines. I heard a crest calling and indeed singing and it sounded like a Firecrest, looking at the 3rd Pine from the east it was indeed a fine male Firecrest and it was feeding on insects around the middle and around the trunk of the tree it was seen from time to time, it flew east to the second tree. Yet a crest still calling from the third tree, proved to be a second male Firecrest, I checked the second tree and the male Firecrest was still there. I was soon joined by other birders including Rob H and one of the Firecrests flew to a tree near the river, later on we saw a third, a female Fircrest and that flew to a Pine nearer the Asda store where Rob obtained his fantastic shot, lovely to find a trio of Firecrests! Checking hamilton Dock, I saw a flock of 17 Chaffinch flying south and 42 Turnstones near the Birds Eye factory and then they flew to the 'finger' at Ness Point. Later in the afternoon, a Chiff- Chaff was heard singing on Gunton Heath & a Green Woodpecker was heard at the Gunton Woodland burial.
