9th January - Back on the Patch!

I finally made it onto my patch last Sunday, unfortunately it was a real struggle with very few birds about. I managed a massive 28 species. Highlights were thin on the ground, a pale-bellied Brent Goose flew south out at sea past Corton, a female Bullfinch was along the old railway line at Corton and 5 Waxwings flew overhead at Corton Church.

I also visited the 2km part of my patch that has been culled for the competition which includes Lound Lakes. Amongst the usual mix of Canada's, Greylag's, Gypsies, Tufties etc was a Ruddy Shelduck, obviously a genuine vagrant because its in Norfolk!!!
