Microbirdology

Not the best of weather, but what would you expect in the UK at the end of March!  It felt like the winter visitors had more or less left but the summer migrants had not yet arrived in numbers. Partly due to the timing but also the cold winds in the UK and storms on the continent holding them back. Egrets and Heron, mostly at Cley The usual suspects on the excellent feeders at Sculthorpe Moor A number of raptors, incuding the almost mythical Little Owl at Abbey Farm . A poor picture because of the distance and shooting directly into the sun. Note to self, visit in the afternoon!  The Barn Owl was hunting on the fields near St Benets Abbey. Treecreeper at RSPB Titchwell Goldcrest at Holme , Dunnock at Sculthorpe , Water Rail at Cley and Missel Thrush at Sandringham And finally, a Common Crane at Old Beetley.
