Essentially a long 8 mile Sunday walk with my bins but a few things of note were seen en-route. Birdwise the highlights were
8 Hobby over the fen at North Warren, 9 species of common warblers, the 4 species pairs -
Willow/Chiffchaff, Blackcap/Garden Warbler, Reed/Sedge Warbler and
Common/Lesser Whitethroat with
Cetti's Warbler thrown in for good measure. Interestingly a single
Cetti's Warbler was singing in completely dry heathland habitat near the old campsite north of Thorpeness.
2 Cuckoos were seen - at North Warren and Aldingham Walks.
It was nice to see my first
Green Hairstreak and
Small Copper of the year at North Warren with
Brimstone, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood, Orange Tip, Green-veined White, Small White and
Large White also seen.
A couple of
Hairy Dragonflies and a female
Broad-bodied Chaser were also at North Warren fen and both
Sea Kale and
Tree Lupin were on the beach just north of Thorpeness, the former in profusion.
