Another great day but the back roads, where us birders like to travel were very frozen and dangerous. Today it worked out great. I had just seen a male Sparrowhawk in the hedge at Sotterley and as I reached the fields between Uggeshall and the A12 Wangford Bypass I saw a huge raptor tearing at a Woodpigeon. I soon scoped it and was watching a juvenile Rough legged Buzzard I was so pleased to find my own rarity.
At Minsmere along many treacherous icy roads I re found the Green -winged Teal amongst a hundred or so Common Teal.
A single Water Pipit and four Sanderlings were present along with a Drake Pintail.
Another excellent winters birding in Suffolk.
