Linda was out all day instructing new beekeepers, so it was a little frustrating to hear that two White Storks had arrived at a small pool by the River Ant. After a light supper we drove through the empty roads to Ludham Bridge and, after a short walk, found a small group enjoying the unexpected visitors: one had a blue ring, the other was completely unfettered!
Also present on the pool were two Wood Sandpipers, a pair of Little Ringed Plovers, a Spoonbill and, distantly, a Barn Owl.
After a good 'grill', we decided to move a couple of miles to St Benet's, where up to seven Short-eared Owls had recently been present. We weren't disappointed: although none of the five we saw came particularly close, they - and a second Barn Owl - were great to see in the evening sunlight.
