Im back !!!

Hi readers, im sorry that I haven't posted a lot lately, its simply because I have been on holiday for the week. I went on holiday to Great yarmouth which was a good place to see some sea birds. We stayed on a caravan park right next to Caister beach which only made it easier to do some birding.

So heres all the birds I saw on this holiday.

Caister beach- Little tern 9 or 10, Lesser black backed gull (lots), Herring gull (lots), Ringed plover x5, Grey or common seal x1, Rabbit 5+, Kestrel x1, Swallow 5+, Green sandpiper x25, Oystercatcher x5, swift x1, Common gull, Cormorant x2.

We also took a trip out to scroby sands to see the seals heres all the birds and wildlife I could identify there.

Scroby sands- Little tern 5+, Oystercatcher 4 or 5, Grey and Common seal 30+, Lesser black backed gull 5+, Herring gull 5+, Cormorant 5+.

On the boat trip there was a large colony of terns, but as the boat was rocking because of the waves and  also moving around quite often to offer the boat riders better views of the seals I couldn't get a good enough view of them to identify them.

Also today me and my dad payed our normal visit to RSPB Sandwell valley, heres wat we saw.

RSPB Sandwell valley- Kingfisher x1 (or possible 2 because we just saw a Kingfisher going back and forth with food, this makes it possible for there to be a nesting pair of Kingfiser), Grey heron x3, Coot 20+, cormorant x1, Black headed gull 50+, Tufted duck 20+ (+1 ducklin on the marsh), Mute swan x2 (+ 4 signets), Lesser black backed gull 5+, Lapwing 20+, Great spotted woodpecker x1, Starling 5+.
