young Mute Swan on Lagoons



Fly over of a flock of Golden Plover


I was lucky to find this Shag a rare visitor to our Suffolk coast, it even came out of the water and posed for me









It swam South and as I was trying to find it again, spotted this GREAT NORTHERN DIVER



I took a stroll towards Shingle Street and whilst counting the Mute Swans on the fields towards Alderton spotted a lone WHITE FRONTED GOOSE



Whilst walking back to the car at dusk spotted this 
BARN OWL 
too dark for a decent photo, but grabbed this image as it was disappearing over a hedge ISO3200, Just finished off a dull but very productive day


        A walk from Shingle Street to East Lane and back
                       (foggy most of the time)
