North Cove, Barnby.

Bright day "What a difference a day makes".

Birding wise:  3 BLACKCAPS, several CHIFFCHAFF but only one SEDGE WARB. LONG TAILED TIT, FAMILY as was BLUE TIT and GREAT TIT. One REED BUNTING and also a fleeting glimpse of a LITTLE OWL. A COMMON BUZZARD flew over North Cove reserve, it would not surprise me if there is a nest in there. A single MALLARD and 3 CETTIE'S WARB. There was also a COMMON WHITETHROAT heard but not seen on the river bank. There was also a calling CUCKOO from across the river in Ashby. On the way back home we called in through Pakefield and a male MARSH HARRIER was flying off with something in its talon's. Also SWALLOW and HOUSE MARTINS as well as several BLACKBIRDS calling and CHAFFINCH.

Smaller stuff: Again I think I found another WALL BROWN and also LARGE TORT, PEACOCK, LARGE WHITE and also an array of damselflies and chaser as well as dragonflies.
