Woodbridge and The Deben, 9 December 2024

My first long walk following a little health scare was with Belinda along the Deben from Melton to Woodbridge and back. I was a bit out of breath at the end but onwards and upwards!

On the mud of the estuary I counted c75 Avocet, c300 Lapwings, c200 Black-tailed Godwits, 3 Grey Plover and a single Dunlin. Right at the start of the walk a Kingfisher was at close quarters by a footbridge over a dyke - before it saw me (!) and a Grey Wagtail flew over.

There was a rare plant in the town that I wanted to catch up with and when I got to the area near the Co-op in the town centre I found it had taken over the area! The species in question being Tall Nightshade.
