I'm not going to ramble on about the joys of birdwatching or give a rundown of this day spent down at Trimley. Actions by other people have left this day feeling worthless. Three of the hides had been vandalised and the areas of water they looked over were birdless, I guess caused by the vandalism. The reservoir hide was ok and all the birds were concentrated on this body of water, but only the common birds, nothing unusual, by the time I got there I wasn't feeling in the mood for any birding anyway.
I walked from Levington Marina, passed Loompit Lake which held the usual flocks of moulting waterfowl, the most obvious being the forty SWANS present. The river was at high tide so not much was present, but three COMMON SANDPIPERS were present on the river wall by Loompit.
Today was a disappointment and just one to forget. Sometimes selfish acts by humans can cause serious problems for everyone else, be they other humans or the birds that inhabit these marshes.
