Stone Curlews at Weeting Heath...

 ...and lots more besides! Linda, Sue, Peter and I decided to make a first visit this year to the Stone Curlews at Weeting Heath, arriving befoire the heat haze was too bad! There were three birds visible in front of the hide, sitting close to the camera and its power supply! Other birds included Woodlark, Curlew, Wheatear (very distantly!) Buzzard and Mistle Thrush.

We moved on to Lakenheath just as the weather turned colder and wetter: we dodged the showers by moving from one hide to the next, somehow managing to  hear Nightingale, Cuckoo and Garden Warbler and seeing Roe and Muntjac Deer. A Cootlet was so ugly that it was appealing! House Martin was new for the year.

After lunch at Brown's, our last stop was Lynford Arboretum, where a walk around gave us fleeting (but adequate) views of both Firecrest and Goldcrest, but little else apart from a Bullfinch...
