Since Brian and Norman are both off on their travels, I was in need of a morning in the fresh air. Accordingly Linda and I decided on a walk around Hickling NNT reserve, before a visit to buy bird food at nearby Latham's.
Despite the watery sunshine, the air was still coolish, but Wilow Warblers had obviously arrived in some numbers and were calling from every suitable copse! Also new for the year were several Whitethroats and - star birds - at least half a dozen Garganey on Brendon's Marsh, including four males. A confiding Crane was good to see, as were three Cootlets taking their first swim in front of Secker's Hide.
