Descrizione
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 Svasso maggiore throughout the year, and you may also catch a glipse of a passing Martin pescatore or hear the erruptive calls of Usignolo di fiume. The lawns around campus may have Picchio verde feeding on them. You can see Ballerina gialla and Garzetta along the river.
In the winter, look out for Smergo maggiore as this is one of the more reliable locations to find them in the county. There may also be plenty of gulls including Gavina and Gabbiano reale nordico using the lawn around the edge of the lake. At dusk, Beccaccia and Beccaccino can be found in any of the wetland areas around campus. In spring, a dawn walk around UEA Broad may reveal Piro piro piccolo 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 Capinera, Beccafico, Sterpazzola, Luì piccolo, Luì grosso, Cannaiola, Forapaglie comune and even a few Forapaglie macchiettato! There may be Cuculo joining the dawn chorus. During a spring fall, local scarcities such as Merlo dal collare and Codirosso have been found here.
Summer is quiter, but a wide selection of garden birds may still be seen in the area including Ciuffolotto and Rampichino alpestre. On a dusk trip to the playingfields, you may hear Civetta calling in the large oak trees. Raptors including Falco di palude 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 Sterna comune. Autumn is a good time to keep eyes on the skies for flocks of Oca zamperosee, while the winter thrushes including Tordo sassello and Cesena will be returing. It is always worth locating flocks of Codibugnolo as there is a possiblity of something rarer being in them, such as a Luì forestiero (especially after periods of easterly winds). The greenhouse feeders may host Lucherino, Organetto minore and Peppola.
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 Luì piccolo iberico, Sterna maggiore, Gavina americana and Averla maggiore!
