A Monday walk - which has now become a nice habit now I’m retired and Belinda doesn’t work on Mondays! After the weekend everywhere is so much quieter too and this suits us just fine.
We ventured along the coast from Covehithe village down to Benacre Broad in one direction and then Covehithe Broad in the other.
Benacre Broad was full of wildfowl with c900 Wigeon and smaller numbers of Teal and Gadwall but best of all were 6 Whooper Swans amongst the Mutes. A single female Marsh Harrier was also there.
Down at Covehithe Broad I had 3 Goldeneye, a few Pochard and c10 Little Grebes but little else of note until another final scan revealed a 1w female Scaup hanging around with a pair of Tufted Duck which made the walk worthwhile.
Near the church back in the village a verge was full of Orange Peel Fungus. The first I’ve seen this year.
