Young birder based in Suffolk
Having been kept inside with an illness recently it was great to get out along the Shotley peninsula today and find 2 Jack Snipe, 2 Common Snipe and 2 Woodcock! Ended with a fun evening watching 2 Little Owls at point blank range.

Then finishing at Walberswick where we had Snow Buntings in the dying light, and who doesn't love a murmuration to finish the day.
