The main targets were not co-operating, even in spite of combing the woodland and getting a little lost right in the middle of dartford warbler heathland. But two very pleasant walks led to jay, reed warbler, bearded tit (including a close-up of a female this time), marsh harrier, buzzard (not so common in Suffolk), cetti's warbler and several rather cocky reed buntings who absolutely refused to leave their favourite bushes when I walked right underneath them. There were also some otter tracks near the old mill.

16th June
Walberswick Common drew my attention as possible area for dartford warbler and green woodpecker. Fortunate enough to meet a woman from Natural England awaiting a school group, who gave me a map and some directions so I could plan activities around the anticipated rainstorm, which lasted nearly three hours while I read in the car.
