Review of the Year 2025

2025 has been a really good year for scarce birds, particularly in Suffolk! January: The 4th January was my start to the birding year after appalling weather on the first. Henham weighed in with the now rapidly increasing continental coloniser, a Cattle Egret. Compare that with the rapidly decerasing Grey Partridge, a covey of 7 of these delights were seen at Ellough on the same day. Thorpeness Bound on the fifth revealed an American Ring- necked Duck, 2 'Rossicus' Bean Geese in cliff top fields and a Hoodie in fields in the Snape area.
