The day continued to brighten up but with a chill from the North.
Best bird today was undoubtedly the BLACK REDSTART which was wire sitting. It had been calling of and on but it took James to locate it for me. SKYLARK came in at only 3 which is really low for here. But a large flock of 30 Goldfinch was good to see. Also the COMMON BUZZARD kept on circling overhead. A pair of OYSTERCATCHER were on aflooded pool nearby and 7 WHITE WAGTAIL on the same opposite the church.
Hopton: On a recently ploughed field to the West of Hopton three COMMON BUZZARD were sorting themselves out for breeding. Also 3 WHITE WAGTAILS.
Lound Lakes: Just one calling CHIFFCHAFF and two GREEN WOODPECKER. But for the third time in four days I have seen a LONG TAILED TIT with a feather in its mouth seeking out a nesting site and being followed by its partner. Odd behaviour but obviously idiosyncratic.
