Brian, Norman and I took a drive by the drizzle and mist for a long-discussed journey to the Brecks. First cease was Lynford Arboretum, the place the ‘tunnel’ held a big flock of finches, together with Yellowhammers, Bramblings and a Hawfinch. The sunshine was appalling: Norman’s digital camera simply would not discover a focus and mine wasn’t a lot better! We walked the circuit, earlier than returning to the five-barred gate: the sunshine was marginally improved and I grabbed a couple of grainy photographs and added Marsh Tit to the 12 months listing!
Subsequent cease was Mayday Farm: the climate was nonetheless dreadful, however amazingly nearly the primary birds we noticed have been a flock of fourteen Crossbills! The pictures will not win any prizes, nevertheless it’s been a cool three years since we final noticed the species… As we have been consuming our espresso by the considerably delapidated display screen, two feminine Crossbills landed proper in entrance of us, offering extended and higher views.
Final cease was Santon Downham, the place Gray Wagtail turned quantity 96 on the 12 months listing!
