Over the years I have dipped put on this bird more than any other, but at last on my ninth time I made it. What a great bird to add to my list after such a long while. I tried very hard last year to see the ones at Theberton in 2015 as every time they had just flown. Thought I was in for the same here but the bird back tracked and I got there to view. Perhaps not the best pic in the world but the viewing makes up for any pic.
One local resident asked me what we were all looking at. When I pointed it out her response was to any of us odd. I thought they were bigger than that. If they were, perhaps she would have seen it with ease, but it seems that she had difficulties in this department. Either that or she was looking for an eagle.
Other birds seen were SWIFT, GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER, CROW, ROOK, SWALLOW, and a mother BLACKBIRD feeding her two young. Also a garden full of 14 HOUSE SPARROWS.
