East Suffolk November 21

 just had a week based at Eastbridge, just a few 100m walk from Minsmere; a family gathering and so not much birding but a lot of walking in the delightful East Suffolk coastal strip with long trecks around Minsmere, Dunwich, Westelton heath and Walberswick also taking in Covehithe; a flock of c12 Woodlarks was feeding in a harvested maize field behind the cottage we rented and a Raven flew over the garden one morning; surprised to hear and see so many Marsh Tits at Minsmere and even one at Walberswick where I don't recall them in the 70's but raptors and shrikes were our main focus at that time - 

a week in Suffolk

a family break with a few odd birds and insects thrown in -- a beautiful county with just so much habitat but not a place where you want to get anywhere quickly;
Hummingbird Hawk Moth on the cottage garden on day two, Migrant Hawker, Shingle Street, Aldeburgh, Silver Y one of 1000's - they were everywhere
