We felt our results were disappointing, but that may be more to do with the fact that we did our count in the afternoon this year (when many birds are less active) rather than in the morning. We often see Great tits, House sparrows, Magpies and Blackbirds. We sometimes see a Great spotted woodpecker, a Song thrush and a Wren. None of these put in an appearance today. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You can see our results in the list below. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-SYyjf3pfdMP-jILW_2auxgrR47WR-gvMlclRyWUVFRZ_wkfk6YGpvkMvw4IR9fFKkXVL5VpGbFhRCZcMpL637Il9VfRb8ljvE7wGwS05CDi1trgwqeW9WulzjKh1ZUnttBwOFKinpvzrtzezJRw_dzd1quHJLduvCNln3c2xraAQGvcyL71j9iFLxiV/s755/blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="755" data-original-width="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-SYyjf3pfdMP-jILW_2auxgrR47WR-gvMlclRyWUVFRZ_wkfk6YGpvkMvw4IR9fFKkXVL5VpGbFhRCZcMpL637Il9VfRb8ljvE7wGwS05CDi1trgwqeW9WulzjKh1ZUnttBwOFKinpvzrtzezJRw_dzd1quHJLduvCNln3c2xraAQGvcyL71j9iFLxiV/s16000/blog.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /> <br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUgNe2RpRry0_iOSZJF5XGPD7rBDur-N35-unmeKju_awwniFGFokx_bK2lEdVmk_RGz8aYQB4TKh7ogZfkR2Vzg9cGhJO-TWcvVNnjMf5qV9QMMckP4YwXT6Ny5v6ut4qUvaJ119g0uixdGw-HDTpzlRkgsPw5iazia8erPWeZm0_xutAFuFNzG8lgXH/s817/bird%20count%202024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="369" data-original-width="817" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUgNe2RpRry0_iOSZJF5XGPD7rBDur-N35-unmeKju_awwniFGFokx_bK2lEdVmk_RGz8aYQB4TKh7ogZfkR2Vzg9cGhJO-TWcvVNnjMf5qV9QMMckP4YwXT6Ny5v6ut4qUvaJ119g0uixdGw-HDTpzlRkgsPw5iazia8erPWeZm0_xutAFuFNzG8lgXH/w640-h290/bird%20count%202024.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I wonder how you fared, or perhaps you will do a count tomorrow (28th).

Last year (2023), from the same suburban Suffolk home as this year, we submitted <a href="https://carolinegillwildlife.blogspot.com/2023/01/rspb-big-garden-birdwatch-2023.html">this list</a>. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don't know whether our local bird numbers have decreased or whether the new time of day had more to do with our result than other factors. Yesterday when we were on a very local walk, we counted a slightly different mix of species (Greenfinch, Blackbird, Blackcap, Great spotted woodpecker, Great tit, Redwing and Starling), either from observation or from sound via the <a href="https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/">Merlin Bird ID</a> app. It's good to know that we still have Greenfinches in our area as we rarely see these birds. <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span><br /></p>Caroline Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05203454486693014969noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-58429965695022083432023-11-12T22:57:00.003+00:002023-11-12T22:57:18.666+00:00Light and Water at RSPB Minsmere<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBAeDxDY51_jFuAqBMQ451kojGEGsw-nAJpO5qDBPSMzZTpdIQNYahxqRVtg-2UIT1v2sYc5bP71vPH3XLIac-o-8AR2lF9_WzqtbhbZT0LK7gFb61xEiK-3MegA-4wySpMMNrmKb92rrQTGoMWQ1jVJXqZHwVh0OripTp3sPMl-_-9hEhhLYEIZsv90l/s5184/P1000538-Minsmere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBAeDxDY51_jFuAqBMQ451kojGEGsw-nAJpO5qDBPSMzZTpdIQNYahxqRVtg-2UIT1v2sYc5bP71vPH3XLIac-o-8AR2lF9_WzqtbhbZT0LK7gFb61xEiK-3MegA-4wySpMMNrmKb92rrQTGoMWQ1jVJXqZHwVh0OripTp3sPMl-_-9hEhhLYEIZsv90l/w640-h480/P1000538-Minsmere.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We reached RSPB Minsmere yesterday afternoon just as most folk were packing up their birding gear and heading for the cafe or the car park.

font-size: medium;">Shingle Street, a favourite place on the Suffolk coast, is always changing. We wondered how this wild but vulnerable spot had fared in the recent gales and floods. The shelving ridges of sand and shingle looked steeper than usual. The photo immediately above shows a selection of shells, weed and wood thrust ashore by the tide.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The photo above that shows barnacles on a pebble, presumably hurled up and brought in from the sea bed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The light is often magical here. I particularly like the second photo from the top, showing a landscape that somehow reminds me of a <a href="https://www.rathergoodart.co.uk/product/the-eric-ravilious-rivers-and-ponds-greeting-card-collection/">Ravilious</a> painting.

Grass Snakes are <a href="https://www.bto.org/our-science/projects/gbw/gardens-wildlife/garden-reptiles-amphibians/a-z-reptiles-amphibians/grass-snake">protected by law</a> so do bear this in mind if you encounter one in your garden or while you are out and about. <br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Many of you will know that I
have been keeping a list of the
wildlife I see in our suburban Suffolk garden since 2014. For a creature
to be counted, it must be seen in, under or above our boundary. Some
years ago I began
to keep an eye on the <a href="https://carolinegillwildlife.blogspot.com/2021/05/wildflowers-in-our-wild-garden.html">wildflowers</a>
that we noticed in the garden.

It has been a particularly chilly spring so far in my part of Suffolk. To be fair, the temperatures have risen in the last couple of days, but the north-east wind continues to make its presence felt. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I may put in some effort to check names etc. in due course, but the purpose of this audit was really just to take a quick photo as a record of what I saw (with added input from David). If I can name the species, I will. I always struggle to identify yellow 'dandelion-like' flowers, including sow thistle, hawkweed and cat's ear ... do let me know if you recognise an unnamed plant. It may be that two of these yellow plant pics are actually of the same species ... <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0nljtBF1_GsITJ3KdbDPLqO-P-JvFelD9Epbjdck7nQj1AbXPWFx2jxO3fhbX04K7sejGsfrjRIbFm_TQQsY5uFvasXwqiTsOnN30jP3JXCUyt_Tn5lnaqX4UXXMJGb0KgCciWZRublAJOVWsuDlHEFvS6Pa3RVcNjQhcbjRGhAOwJlX-V3lKciDuw/s3821/P1001627-flower-audit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3821" data-original-width="3394" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0nljtBF1_GsITJ3KdbDPLqO-P-JvFelD9Epbjdck7nQj1AbXPWFx2jxO3fhbX04K7sejGsfrjRIbFm_TQQsY5uFvasXwqiTsOnN30jP3JXCUyt_Tn5lnaqX4UXXMJGb0KgCciWZRublAJOVWsuDlHEFvS6Pa3RVcNjQhcbjRGhAOwJlX-V3lKciDuw/w568-h640/P1001627-flower-audit.jpg" width="568" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">2.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmma-qDWcMbgMbsm2ZyK4TihP_GbnuUqxHxYAEETKDAjf4UD6NiM4xCpHb72LjQFhxke6mrHT4U-nqkWEWP2z7PvdwBTlwuB8zuYt-S3v-q9EkDgrjg-02HhYtvatDR-bERcvs_EMT1ffvECgBv-o2Dd7tUM_W1qbcWLLS5LanOk-IiNvrpCSCVfnc0Q/s3432/P1001628-flower-audit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3131" data-original-width="3432" height="584" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmma-qDWcMbgMbsm2ZyK4TihP_GbnuUqxHxYAEETKDAjf4UD6NiM4xCpHb72LjQFhxke6mrHT4U-nqkWEWP2z7PvdwBTlwuB8zuYt-S3v-q9EkDgrjg-02HhYtvatDR-bERcvs_EMT1ffvECgBv-o2Dd7tUM_W1qbcWLLS5LanOk-IiNvrpCSCVfnc0Q/w640-h584/P1001628-flower-audit.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">3.

have been keeping a list of the
wildlife I see in our suburban Suffolk garden since 2014. For a creature
to be counted, it must be seen in, under or above our boundary. Some
years ago I began
to keep an eye on the <a href="https://carolinegillwildlife.blogspot.com/2021/05/wildflowers-in-our-wild-garden.html">wildflowers</a>

Does anyone know if this is unusual behaviour for this species of raptor? </span></p><p><br /></p>Caroline Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05203454486693014969noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-43442919660567048892023-04-03T00:30:00.005+01:002023-04-03T00:30:00.184+01:00Newbourne Springs, Suffolk Wildlife Trust Reserve<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijyv_YQRQyivXg0knYys9YcxaWdillSzqI_OPjsPVphYnA_xP217O7dNDo4D96BqXz1Kl2lr0SWCNMqmIjBsY1Cs2Q_eI2vzp7ZGv41wkq8SCnQGk-XHPOx2pEfsQgObUJfYi8E2K3Q6UnCUB8aaiHADlJDT6eYJ-G-D0IOXiExogFY25CQv30BmkVKg/s1066/peacock%20butterfly.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1066" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijyv_YQRQyivXg0knYys9YcxaWdillSzqI_OPjsPVphYnA_xP217O7dNDo4D96BqXz1Kl2lr0SWCNMqmIjBsY1Cs2Q_eI2vzp7ZGv41wkq8SCnQGk-XHPOx2pEfsQgObUJfYi8E2K3Q6UnCUB8aaiHADlJDT6eYJ-G-D0IOXiExogFY25CQv30BmkVKg/w640-h434/peacock%20butterfly.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Not the best photograph of a Peacock butterfly, but what a surprise after the last few days of grey skies and chilly temperatures!

Funds are needed for the project, and so far about <a href="https://www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/martlesham-wilds">25% of the target</a> has been reached. '<a href="https://melton-suffolk-pc.gov.uk/martlesham-wilds-suffolk-wildlife-trust/">Wilds</a>' apparently is an old Suffolk term, and it will be fascinating to see the area live more and more up to its name as nature begins to take over from farmland as the project progresses. <br /></span></span></p><br />Caroline Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05203454486693014969noreply@blogger.com6
