Raptors!

Linda and I had to visit Old Buckenham this morning to pick up some frames for the business: I put my camera on the back seat (as I normally do!) 'just in case'.

As we approached the Beccles turn off, we noticed a large Buzzard-sized raptor approaching from the west: immediately we recognised it as a Goshawk - a real whopper! I slowed so we could watch it pass overhead, being harassed by corvids: no chance to stop, of course...

Following a tour of the South Norfolk garden centres, we returned home via the A140. As we approached the A140 /A47 junction we saw an Osprey circling over the fields to the East: this time I was able to stop!
