Snape Marshes: Stuart (Ipswich Team Leader) and volunteers were busy managing one of the herb rich meadows today, they will also be there tomorrow (I hope that it does not rain!). Up to 5 Barn Owls are being seen on the marsh now that the young ones have fledged.
Trimley Marshes: There is an excellent assemblage of waders and wildfowl on the reservoir. Wader species include Green and Common Sandpipers, Greenshank, Ruff, Spotted Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Avocet, Redshank and Lapwing. The first Wigeon of the winter have also arrived.
Small Red-eyed Damselflies can be seen well from the reservoir hide.
The reserve is also home to a number of nationally scarce plants. The reserve is one of only a few places in Suffolk where you can see the three species below. The photographs were taken over the weekend of Rock Samphire, Golden Samphire and Shrubbery Seablite.
