A day in East Norfolk

[The Valley sparrow]

I would have loved to have been there, never seen any Harriers in wild, i reacon they are spectacular birds. Also, are Woodcock in decline, we were asked by our local recorder to keep an eye out for these, also Woodlark, Grasshopper warbler.

A complete "no show" from both Merlin and Barn owl, but to be honest seeing the Cranes and all those Harriers more than made up for their absence.

I thought I would have my say
I thoroughly enjoyed my day out with a gang of like minded people.
It was a real treat to see c140 Bewick's Swans feeding on a field so close to the main road was a little bizarre
The highlight of the day was definitely the 2 hours at Stubb's Mill. To see all those Harrier's gliding around is real moving experience for me.

Below is a bad photo of the cranes we saw
