Out and about.

Best birding was with W.B.C. Last Thursday week ago. Managed to add a few things to the list, but I suppose the best find was an incredible pair of CUCKOO that I managed to screw up on at the Sluice at Minismere. It has been 9 years since I have seen a pair in action together so to have a video of the relationship and pictures to follow it up is in itself good. I have also picked up with DARFORD WARBLER and KNIGHTJAR which gives a good complement of birds. In real terms I am doing ok this year but have some way to go to add to my life list. I missed out on one the other day in North Norfolk, but we won't go there.
It seems that some of our local Swifts have already done a runner. With also very few COMMON TERNS in appearance.
I have picked up on HOBBY at the following locations this year. Abberton Reservoir, Shrub End at my sisters house. Minismere, Carlton Marsh and Oulton Marsh.
LITTLE EGRET: It seems that this is the first year we have seen these birds in flocks my largest was 11 birds but at Minismere there has been as many as 14.

Found out what one of the moths is....Magpie Moth
