Cley and Hickling: high-temperature birding!

An early start at Cley didn't produce anything desperately special, but close views of some common birds (Little Ringed Plover, Greenshank, Common Sandpiper, Lesser Whitethroat etc) were very welcome.

A walk along to Babcock Hide revealed that the Avocets on Watling Water have been more successful in raising a few chicks than those on the main reserve: they didn't seem to be particularly conscientious parents, though...

A move to Hickling gave us our first views of Swallowtails this season: at least four. Other species of interest included a pair of displaying Cranes, all the usual warblers and lots of Four-spotted Chasers
