Waveney Valley Birding


Been visiting several Waveney Valley sites today. Started at Flixton Gravel Pits where a Turtle Dove was heard singing. Then I saw an amazing sight 2,737 Eclipse Mallard! eight Red crested Pochard and Pintail. This is the rearing site for an Italian shooting syndicate.
Then moved to Weybread Pits where I found some Dark Bush Crickets.
Broome Pits was my final stop where we saw >10 Small Coppers, > 50 Peacocks and > 50 Painted Ladies. Finally at Beccles Marshes a Hobby and a Curlew seen.
