Linda, Sue, Peter and I met old friends Joyce and Andrew at Potton Hall, just a stone's throw from Minsmere. We spent a delightful morning looking around the beautiful parklands around Potton Hall (and catching up with each other's gossip!) before driving the short distance to J & A's house for lunch. Bird highlights of the trail were numerous Buzzards, lots of Hirundines and a singing Nightingale as we enjoyed coffee. (There was an amazingly bright halo around the Sun for most of the afternoon...)
After a wonderful lunch, the Burthenshaws led us on a four mile walk around Westleton Heath: what a beautiful part of the world! Displaying hawk-like eyesight, Peter found us both Stone Curlew and Nightingale, with 'back-up' from Hobby and Stonechat. (It was good to hear Stone Curlews calling on several occasions: a first for Linda.)
On the way home, we stopped at the Waveney House Hotel in Beccles for supper: a terrific end to a perfect day!
