Wed 31st Mar 21

Another lovely morning to be out, 4 Chiffchaffs along the approach road and a male Blackcap were the best bits from around the bushes, the Scrape was much the same with the addition of 6 Med Gulls (one of which was the colour ringed bird seen by Paul at Frinton earlier in the week) and thanks to Max for picking up 2 Gt. C Grebe & 3 Red T Divers sitting close offshore on a flat calm sea.
