Minsmere Bound

On Saturday 13th December I drove down to Minsmere to buy the newly published Suffolk Birds 2024 being the report on bird sightings in Suffolk in 2024. Nice to have 11 photos (Whooper Swan, Surf Scoter, Shag, Hoopoe, Wryneck, Kestrel, Peregrine, Shore Lark, Rose-coloured Starling, Fieldfare and Lapland Bunting published.Also published was my article about the discovery of a Ross's Goose at Somerleyton way back in 2008, although the identification was in no doubt it was only recently accepted as a wild bird. Driving away down to Westleton, a Song Thrush flew across the road and driving towards Dunwich along the Westleton Heath road, a female Sparrowhawk flew towards the car and right past on the left hand side only being about 2 foot off the ground obviously after prey.
