Clean up at Haddiscoe Marshes
On Sunday 2nd February at about 3.30pm, I walked down to the Mound reaching there around 3.30pm , I saw Aryun and he said he had a Short- eared Owl flying left, over the closest reeds, it then flew over to the grassy field just left and the Suffolk side of the border where it was joined by a second Short- eared Owl. A few minutes later, a striking Male Hen Harrier flew left again spotted by Aryun, as it flew to the same grassy field where the SEOs had been earlier I could incredibly see a second male Hen Harrier with it iand they then flew back and right over at the back. A Peregrine flew over right to left at the back in the distance whilst much closer, a female Sparrowhawk then flew left. Perched on a post near a back gate was a fine Merlin. A Great White Egret was also seen at the back. A Barn Owl seen over to the right at the back and as the light was fading 9 singleton Buzzards and 2 male Marsh Harriers flew into roost over Waveney Forest. As the light was fading and at dusk, the first of 5 singleton Woodcocks flew out of the woods and onto the marsh. Finally, 2 Male Marsh Harriers were seen to fly in and over the wood into roost. A great trip out late on!
