Recent Days

After having family stay for a few weeks and family wedding now is the time to catch up again. So what has been going on. Well the best birds where a pair of COMMON CRANE flying North West over Wroxham. although this was only a brief encounter it was as usual very special and a surprise. Over the last few weeks visited numerous areas in North Norfolk it is just great to see birds and walk the walk.
Leathe's ham: The best bird here was a early return and my first for the site of a BLACK TAILED GODWIT and also another first here for COMMON SANDPIPER. There was also a GREY HERON adult bird loafing about as were 7 LITTLE EGERET. Plenty of duck in various moult but only one DABCHICK.
Thetford Forest:    The best bird here was a flyover CROSSBILL and also a KINGFISHER at Goodmanson south of Swaffam. One big surprise was a pair of CURLEW in a stubble field in the middle of nowhere.
