A few birds

I am not the type of bird photographer willing to hide and wait nor wield heavy equipment, but I do enjoy watching and hearing birds doing their birdy things.

This gallery birds in east Anglia. The best individual reserve by far is at Cley in Norfolk, but most estuaries in Suffolk have reed bed areas and are rich in bird flocks. Other birds in galleries 'Home in Herefordshire' & 'Cornwall'

Maybe its time to go over to individual bird galleries, but one of the interesting things in Suffolk is the way several species mix in small flocks
