Norfolk birding
Great start to a long weekend break in Norfolk yesterday. Black-bellied dipper in Thetford followed by rough-legged buzzard on the outskirts of Haddiscoe and then a visit to Stubbs Mill produced a male hen Harrier, a Merlin, 14 cranes, 1 barn owl and at least 26 marsh harrier. More to come, with photos when I get back!
Well, as promised, a few pics from the Norfolk trip. Final tally was 121 species, not too bad for a few days' birding. Highlights included the juvenile White-tailed eagle at Anmer, the rough-legged buzzards near Haddiscoe Marsh and the black-bellied dipper at Thetford. Great views of species like spotted redshank went down well too.
