A few birds from @SWTLackfordLake near Bury St Edmunds yesterday. I saw 42 species which was a good haul and it was great to be out in the sun.

A noisy day in the countryside! ⁦@SWTLackfordLake⁩ I feel a film coming on.

[SWTLackfordLakes @SWTLackfordLake]

Spend a moment watching our smallest duck, the teal.

Currently over one of hundred of these can be found on the slough area of the reserve.

[SWTLackfordLakes @SWTLackfordLake]

Our small birds are busy feeding to get through these cold days at #lackfordlakes.
