With a frosty start forecast and hoping for blue skies we headed up the A11 to Suffolk in search of Crossbills this morning. A quick stop at Lackford Lakes where Sparrowhawk was the highlight of the walk although a blue Snow Goose was noted flying with the Canada Geese or at least we thought it was.
(Smaller than the Canada and Grey with a neat white head and orange feet.)
Arriving at our destination we parked up and waited and we were soon to find nine Crossbills visiting the forest pools to drink and give us opportunity to catch a couple of them with the camera. The weather didn't deliver for us as the skies remained very grey and dull but with increased ISO I managed a couple of reasonable pictures of these colourful birds.

A walk around Lakenheath gave brief views of Kingfisher, Bearded Tits and Marsh Harriers but the reserve was otherwise very quiet although we did notice a new hide being constructed.
