Beskrivning
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 skäggdopping throughout the year, and you may also catch a glipse of a passing kungsfiskare or hear the erruptive calls of cettisångare. The lawns around campus may have Gröngöling feeding on them. You can see forsärla and Silkeshäger along the river.
In the winter, look out for storskrake as this is one of the more reliable locations to find them in the county. There may also be plenty of gulls including fiskmås and Gråtrut using the lawn around the edge of the lake. At dusk, morkulla and enkelbeckasin can be found in any of the wetland areas around campus. In spring, a dawn walk around UEA Broad may reveal drillsnäppa 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 svarthätta, trädgårdssångare, törnsångare, gransångare, lövsångare, rörsångare, sävsångare and even a few gräshoppsångare! There may be gök joining the dawn chorus. During a spring fall, local scarcities such as ringtrast and rödstjärt have been found here.
Summer is quiter, but a wide selection of garden birds may still be seen in the area including domherre and trädkrypare. On a dusk trip to the playingfields, you may hear minervauggla calling in the large oak trees. Raptors including brun kärrhök 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 fisktärna. Autumn is a good time to keep eyes on the skies for flocks of spetsbergsgås, while the winter thrushes including rödvingetrast and björktrast will be returing. It is always worth locating flocks of stjärtmes as there is a possiblity of something rarer being in them, such as a tajgasångare (especially after periods of easterly winds). The greenhouse feeders may host grönsiska, brunsiska and bergfink.
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 iberisk gransångare, skräntärna, ringnäbbad mås and Varfågel!
