Med gulls and Waxwings








After missing the most of the autumn while offshore it was good to get back to the patch this week. On Tuesday I found 3 Waxwings at Camden Road, GY while walking to work. This was somewhat surpassed by the 100+ on Pasteur Road which I managed to get a few photos of. I stopped in past the beach to have a look at the increasing numbers of Med gulls arriving in GY for the winter. On Thursday I stopped in past Breydon Water at high tide. There was an amazing amount of birds (2000+ Golden plover, 285 Shoveler etc etc) and the highlight was a Jack Snipe flying close past the hide before disappearing into the salt marsh.
