Linda and I fancied a pre-lunch walk, so drove the short distance to Ranworth, parking in the last available space opposite 'the Maltsters'. (We were pleasantly surprised to find that none of the passengers of these cars had preceded us to the boardwalk!)
The walk out to the floating Visitors' Centre was surprisingly bird-free, although we did catch a fly-by glimpse of a Kingfisher from the hide: several Common Darters and a female Brimstone were noteworthy. Just a few wildfowl on the Broad, with a Sparrowhawk, Buzzards and Marsh Harriers over the woodland. One raptor visible through the foliage seemed to be a Peregrine, but it was 'seen off' by a Buzzard.
The walk back was more productive, with lots of Siskins, a couple of Nuthatches, a Great Spot and a female Reed Bunting, as well as 'heard only' Crane and Water Rail.
