Hiking - Walking: Martlesham Creek Wind Direction: Wind Stength: light Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 4 Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Another top day :) started as usual with breakfast at Levington Marina -
low water and loads of birds we then stopped along the old Ipswich road
just outside Trimley where loads of waxwings have been spoted - sadly no
waxwings but did see some lovely fieldfares :) and had good chat to an old
windsurfing mate Chris Stephens out on his bike before heading over to
Martlesham. We had soup in the van and the weather had closed in and it
looked like rain but we donned our walking boots and took a chance, it was
very muddy in the woods but saw a kestrel in a tree and carried onto the
creek. The tide was very low and there was hardly a breath of wind and we
watched an egret, a godwit and some little grebes feeding in the lagoon :)
We carried on along the creek seeing several longtailed tits before
reaching Kyson Point by which time the sun had returned and the River Deben
looked wonderful in the late afternoon ligh :) I was out with my new camera
a Fuji X-S1 and was enjoying taking pics of the mill pool river :) We
carried on abit towards Woodbridge and there were several rowers out
enjoying the perfect conditions :) A big black dog playing in the mud made
us smile as did the 2 paddling Godwits :) We made it back to the van just
before dark - a top day and tomorrows looking good for some windsurfing, I
would have gone to The Ray but my sister is coming for tea :) so will make
do with a spot of longboard sailing at a low water Levington :)
PS - more good news Ipswich Town won thier third game in a row - thats
unheard of !!! and move further away from the bottom :)
