A day in the Brecks - but no Stone Curlews...

Norman, Brian & I decided it was time to look in on the usual suspects, starting early at Weeting Heath. I say early, but apparently the only pair of Stonies had their chicks predated a fortnight ago and have deserted the nesting area. Such a shame to see the visitors' centre permanently closed down...

We moved on to Lakenheath Fen, where a seven mile stroll round gave us reasonable views of three or four Bitterns, half a dozen Hobbies, lots of Cuckoos and a distant Glossy Ibis (Which Brian found, to the delight of the Vols!)

We rounded off the day with a walk up- and downstream of the roadbridge at Santon Downham: no sign of any Grey Wags or Mandies.
