Beans, Buzzards, Peregrines and a Hen Harrier on home turf...

Lured to Strumpshaw by reports of a Great Grey Shrike (Hmmmm!) I walked right around the reserve with very little to show for the early start: a Snipe in front of Tower Hide was about it. Then, on the walk back to Reception, I 'kicked up' a female Hen Harrier by the boat staithe and added Cetti's Warbler, Bullfinch and Fieldfare to the day's total.

I carried on round to Buckenham, where I enjoyed watching six Common Buzzards, a Sparrowhawk and a juvenile Peregrine kettling together, before connecting with the Bean Geese again: about fifteen today.
