I picked Norman up at 07.00 to beat the A11 traffic down to Mayday Farm. The regular drinking pool was unusually quiet: the presence of a Goshawk and two Sparrowhawks may be part of the reason! As we were wrestling with the unfeasibly complex new parking machines, Alan, a birder from - I think - Halesworth arrived: he hadn't visited before and so walked round with us. Not the variety enjoyed by Brian and me on our visit, but we added Grasshopper Warbler, Cuckoo and Willow Warbler on our way around. Lots of Woodlarks, on the ground, in trees and in song flight, and possible Whitethroat and Tree Pipit too.
A move to Weeting Heath finally gave us Stone Curlew for the year, while Cockley Cley added Roe Deer and Curlew.
