Bittern, Spoonbill,Pomarine Skua. Suffolk.

Brian phones to say he has a rare Saturday off, so it's off for another visit to Suffolk after Jimmy & I visited on Tuesday.
Landguard is visited first but not to much about with no sign of any Black Redstart or any early Wheatear both have been seen here this week.
Many Linnets & a few Chiffchaff are seen also six Ringed Plover greet us up by the beach.
We get a bonus tick when a large container ship comes into dock with many Gulls following it in. Brian then picks out a Pomarine Skua amongst them & gets us onto it.
Off to Iken to see if Brian can get a tick with the Cattle Egret that Jimmy & I had ticked on Tuesday.
This time we get no sight of the target bird & leave with the intention of trying again before we go home.
Must call into Minsmere being so close. Once inside Island Mere hide we see displaying Marsh Harriers putting on a great show.
At least 7 Goosander  are seen & a few Bearded Tits are seen with a lot more being heard.
On the walk up towards the Bittern hide an Adder is spotted enjoying the early morning sun.
Once in the Bittern hide it is not long before we have another year tick when we have a quick flight view of a Bittern as it drops into the reeds in front of the hide.
Another trip back to get Brian a tick with the Cattle Egret  is a waste of time with it not showing again,means he will have to make another trip to see if he can find it.
