Once bittern.....

An early rush out to the Fen failed to produce the hoped-for Little Owl or Hen Harrier, although a Bittern did sail over my head as I trudged back to the van! I had to visit the Dentist in Norwich, so took the opportunity to check the John Lewis apple tree! No sign of the Waxwing in four returns between 10 and 12... Has it finally departed?
