Ramsholt flash and local stuff including Red backed Shrike

Rasmsholt flash is still producing the goods, good for waders especially. 7 Curlew Sands with Dunlin, Ruff, and plenty of the commoner waders. Green Sands and Wood sands too. Spotted Redshank and Yellow Wagtails.














Back at Boyton, 2 Turtle Doves were still about and for a change showed well.






Back at Hollelsely the Adult and juv Little Owl were still about.



Juvenile Red Backed Shrike was found at East Lane, i can walk this from home so its part of my patch. Anyway went to find the bird late afternoon after a day out and luckily picked the lower track where the shrike was showing well feeding on wasps and grasshoppers. 







Finally back at Boyton my first and probably only Hummingbird Hawkmoth of the year.
