Norman, Brian and I made the same old early begin and have been in Bishop’s Cover by 7.45. A Cetti’s Warbler sat nonetheless for photographs proper by the automotive park: the primary of a number of we noticed. In fact essentially the most fascinating birds from Bishop’s have been the Black-tailed Godwits, a lot of which have been in beautiful breeding plumage: some bore rings of varied colors, however I could not learn them! Distant views of a Brief-eared Owl and a number of other Swallows livened issues up, earlier than we moved to the Centre Hides.
As we walked, not less than 4 Sedge Warblers sparked up: should be Spring! A pair of Little Ringed Plovers and extra Swallows have been good to see, as have been a few Spoonbills. We determined to stroll spherical to East Financial institution, the place distant views of a pair of Noticed Redshank have been noteworthy, as have been significantly better ones of a few male Bearded Tits.
Espresso on the terrace was adopted by a drive to the seashore, adopted by a trudge out to the ‘new’ North Cover. Ultimately we managed actually hazy views of a Wheatear (and quite a few F-35s in mock fight)
A short stroll at Morston was unproductive, so we headed again to the Yare Valley…
