On Friday, Linda and I went for drinks with friends just outside Acle: very enjoyable, too - above the farmhouse we watched Swallows and House Martins being scattered by a Hobby!
We were forced to travel by the back roads, because the rush hour and holiday traffic on the A47 was backed up to Brundall! On the way we passed the ephemeral pool which appeared earlier in the year near Beighton: in the past it's held some good waders, wildfowl and gulls. On Friday the pool hosted half a dozen or so Golden Plovers, but since the detour had made us late, we couldn't stop for photographs.
Today we passed by again, but on this occasion - when we were able to stop - just a few Lapwings and a Mediterranean Gull were present.
