Description
The University of East Anglia (UEA) has some fantastic grounds for birding, and whatever the time of year, there is always something to see. With a wide selection of trails to choose from, it is always worth exploring if you are in the area or indeed visiting the univeristy for any reason. The standout feature of the campus is UEA Broad (the universities lake). This will hold Grèbe huppé throughout the year, and you may also catch a glipse of a passing Martin-pêcheur d'Europe or hear the erruptive calls of Bouscarle de Cetti. The lawns around campus may have Pic vert feeding on them. You can see Bergeronnette des ruisseaux and Aigrette garzette along the river.
In the winter, look out for Harle bièvre as this is one of the more reliable locations to find them in the county. There may also be plenty of gulls including Goéland cendré and Goéland argenté using the lawn around the edge of the lake. At dusk, Bécasse des bois and Bécassine des marais can be found in any of the wetland areas around campus. In spring, a dawn walk around UEA Broad may reveal Chevalier guignette along the waters edge. Worth getting there early, as the site does become busy with dog walkers and visitors during the day. The campus is alive with the sound of warblers including Fauvette à tête noire, Fauvette des jardins, Fauvette grisette, Pouillot véloce, Pouillot fitis, Rousserolle effarvatte, Phragmite des joncs and even a few Locustelle tachetée! There may be Coucou gris joining the dawn chorus. During a spring fall, local scarcities such as Merle à plastron and Rougequeue à front blanc have been found here.
Summer is quiter, but a wide selection of garden birds may still be seen in the area including Bouvreuil pivoine and Grimpereau des bois. On a dusk trip to the playingfields, you may hear Chevêche d'Athéna calling in the large oak trees. Raptors including Busard des roseaux may be seen, as they range more widely away from the Norfolk Broads at this time of year. UEA Broad may be host to a couple of pairs of Sterne pierregarin. Autumn is a good time to keep eyes on the skies for flocks of Oie à bec court, while the winter thrushes including Grive mauvis and Grive litorne will be returing. It is always worth locating flocks of Mésange à longue queue as there is a possiblity of something rarer being in them, such as a Pouillot à grands sourcils (especially after periods of easterly winds). The greenhouse feeders may host Tarin des aulnes, Sizerin cabaret and Pinson du Nord.
Given the number of birders working or studying at UEA, there is always a chance of a top quality rarity being found. Previous records have included Pouillot ibérique, Sterne caspienne, Goéland à bec cerclé and Pie-grièche grise!
