Trimley Marshes

Only slightly better weather but summer migrants are still few and far between.  Observations this weekend include a few Swallows, singles of Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroat and Yellow Wagtail; there are several Chiffchaff and Blackcaps singing.  Other observations of note include Little Gull, a pair of Meditteranean Gulls and two broods of Grey-lag Geese.

Ringing this morning, we retrapped our first Reed Warbler of the year. Anna was so pleased as she had ringed the bird last July, especially knowing that it had just flown from south of the Sarhara back to our reed bed.
