Linda joined Brian and me for our regular walk around this morning: an early start saw us in Fen Hide by 7.00, where we bumped into Ann and Brian Shreeve. Lots of Little Egrets and Cormorants, as well as a very confiding Water Rail. A couple of Marsh Harriers were noteworthy: one had green tags 'XH', the other was a really strikingly-coloured male with a large white rump patch.
A move to Tower Hide added a pair of Willow Emeralds to the day list, as well as three Kingfishers. These were pretty much silhouetted most of the time, but fascinating to watch...
After chatting with Ben on the river bank, we continued round towards the pump, catching sight of a very distant Osprey, carrying a fish away from Rockland Broad.
