Just after NCFC kicked off at Carrow Road this afternoon, Linda and I took the A140 south to Long Stratton. A brief circuit of the fields to the east of the village soon produced decent views of a White Stork feeding in a freshly-ploughed stubble field. This delightful bird was heavily in moult, but totally unringed and fed confidently about 150m from a public footpath.
It is beginning to get a little silly to label
all White Storks that turn up in in East Anglia (especially during migration periods) as being escapes from Thrigby: where is the evidence? Anyhow, a gorgeous bird to watch, especially when it was following the plough (as I've frequently seen them doing on the continent!)
