Marsh Warbler
An early morning visit to Lakenheath RSPB to see the Marsh Warbler. A lovely sunny morning and a nice long walk before the day got too hot!

Lakenheath RSPB & Cavenham Heath
An enjoyable day at these two reserves. It was good to see a Willow Tit at Lakenheath, not a common bird these days in the south of the country. There was also at least one Marsh Tit here to confuse matters. The willow Tit had been ringed on its left leg whereas the commoner Marsh Tits had been rung on their right legs, which aided identification. There were also 2 Common Crane, an early House Martin and a Great White Egret here. I then went to Cavenham Heath for the first time and although the weather had started to deteriorate I still managed to see a Stone Curlew.

Bonaparte’s Gull
8/6/2013. Went to Kent for the day. First place visited was the Oare Marshes Reserve for the Bonaparte’s Gull that has been seen there on and off for the last few weeks. Although it was not seen when I first arrived it was not too long before it put in an appearance over high tide. We then went to Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Sandwich Bay and Pegwell Bay.
Savi’s Warbler
1/6/2013. Another weekend another trip to Lakenheath RSPB, this time for a Savi’s Warbler which was found last weekend when I was there but I did not see it then. It showed well several times between 6-7pm when it came up to sing near the tops of the reeds.
