Bittern's, Marsh & Hen Harrier I have seen already this year. I will be checking out a Monty's site I know to see if they have turned up there this year. On my way into Norfolk I will be calling into a secret site I know for Stone Curlew (not Weeting Heath). Possibly try for Goshawk in the 2nd week and maybe Crossbill as well but apart from those whatever turns up near to me is what my targets will be.

I am not chasing anywhere near as much this year so rarities might not come my way. If they do it's a bonus. If I get to photograph them, better still.

As a ps. I may pop down to Minsmere on the Sunday. I would love to get a photo of a Dartford Warbler and they are resident on Dunwich Heath. There has also been a Shorelark present for a while at Minsmere and a photo of one of those wouldn't go amiss and now a Purple Heron is being reported there.
