Regardless of feeling completely washed out and feeble, I volunteered to take a few of Linda’s wax wraps as much as Cley, becoming a member of Norman and Brian for the morning. To be trustworthy, there wasn’t a lot new about, however I did add Greenshank to the 12 months record! Different birds included a pleasant rusty Marsh Harrier, Bearded Tits, a Purple Kite, Little Gulls and Nice Egrets.
After espresso we headed house, stopping en route at Hickling. The sky had grown somewhat threatening, so we selected a fast trot to the top of Brendan’s Marsh. Right here we have been rewarded by a flock of twelve sometimes dozy Spoonbills (with one other half a dozen within the nesting timber) one other Nice Egret, a few Cranes and a really complicated Marsh Harrier. By way of the gloom it regarded loads like a juvenile Osprey: it was solely an enlarged picture on the laptop computer at house that exposed the hen’s identification.
