02/08/2017 Reflections on the Norfolk Trip

No new birds but a truly inspirational trip.  Despite very unsettled conditions, we managed to experience some memorable birding moments.

• Top of the bill went to the Raptors - of course.  This was my fourth visit in the past month and each time the birds have delighted in a different way.

• 55 Stone Curlews speaks for itself.

• Yet another Wood Sandpiper,  a Curlew Sandpiper, a Caspian Gull, several Bearded Tits and a Turtle Dove among the 118+ species seen or heard.  

• Not to mention a hovering Kingfisher, a magical moment with a Little Grebe in full summer plumage caring for 2 of her chicks and a food drop from a male Marsh Harrier to the female below.

Awesome!
