Sunday was full, with 3 different bird watching visits. That might explain my horrific downturn with the illness today, but it was worth it! The second visit of the day was a fleeting, but productive visit to
Boyton Marshes. Many people were here hoping for a sighting of the White-tailed Eagle, from the day before, this was where it had last been seen the day before. A good selection of ducks were around, with a few waders, Redshank, Snipe and Oystercatcher amongst others. Both Pied and Grey Wagtail were seen and a Curlew flew over. The best three birds came as we walked back to the car however, as Stuart spotted a Stock Dove perched in a tree and I finally got a sighting on some yellow birds I had seen when we first arrived. They were a flock of Yellowhammer, a bird we don't usually see. The final bird before we hopped in the car was Mistle Thrush, the first for the year.
