Stuff around the patch and a lifer......

August 

Before hollesley dried up 2 Greenshank and 3 Little Ringed Plover. Spoonbill numbers up to 18 again. Yellow billed Teal was fresh in and the White cheeked pintail was still here. 

A Juvenile med gull and 2 Adults also put in an appearance.

All the waters gone now as of mid August so its been pretty quiet on the hole.

When i say quiet we have had a Black stork in the ditches towards Boyton, i did find it in one small pool opposite the Prison one morning along side a Great white Egret and 3 Green Sands, also 3 Snipe. 

In other news i counted no less than 120 Wasp Spiders between Hollesely and Boyton.

Lifer wise the Fan tailed Warbler at Walberswick was a nice addition to my list, i went the first weekend and saw a male and female bird, evidently the are no know to have bred getting 4 young away. First for Suffolk and first successful breeding in the uk.

A patch tick last weekend 23.08.25 was a Greenish Warbler found at Shingle street, Gave us the run around but heard it calling and even singing at times. Had a good run of patch ticks as of late.
