Dark days afor Christmas


By 11am I was free to walk from Kessingland to the Sluice to collect some flowers and seed of Jasione montana for a biologist in Spain who wanted to extract chromosone numbers from them. I took the binoculars along but other than a single Kestrel over the caravan park and two Skylark on the beach, all was quite. On return I saw a wintering flock of Greenfinches on the beach. Of the flowers the Allium neapolitanum was still flowering in a pavement crack in Church road. Too late now for my WFS diary last day hunt.

Later I saw two adult Mute Swans fly over my parents house and I dipped on the Peregrine at Lowestoft grain silo. Hopefully having three dips the Richards Pipit will remain long enough for me to see on Friday.
