I
love Suffolk; I'm biased, but it is great. On Sunday night we took a trip out
to Dunwich Heath, after fish and chips in Aldeburgh, to look for Nightjars.
We had our first one strike up at 5 to 9 - it was barely getting dark. We then
had some great fly-bys, and one bird churred incredibly close to us. Add to
that two singing Dartford
Warblers, a Cuckoo,
and both Bittern and Stone-curlew audible
in the distance, and it was a super evening.

Yesterday
was biking and barbecuing on the beach, and I counted 5 singing Corn
Buntings along
Ling's Lane, just south of Chelmondiston. With another bird at Needle Corner in
Harkstead, and a bird singing near Hill Farm on Sunday, that's at least 7
locations without really trying. Maybe I'll get up early sometime this week and
do a proper count...
Today,
zero birding, despite Greenish Warbler and Rosefinch not too far away at
Landguard.
