Not really a birding day today: we had a trip to Southwold and then a walk down to the pub for lunch and back along the River Blythe. Sorry about all the boats but I’m sure the river comes under the category of “nature”.

We haven’t seen many redshank this week

My close up photos always make little egrets look quite large

The gull gives it some perspective

As it does with the gull and the turnstone

The ferry is very busy with the closure of the foot bridge further along

Meadow pipit

Maybe the same redshank

Honeysuckle and blackberries

These flowers are very popular in local gardens
