7th & 8th May House hunting
9th May A
walk around Nortonbury produced my first Pied wagtail and Great spotted
woodpeckers for some time, swallows were hawking over the flooded meadows
behind the farm but the anticipated waders I had seen here in the past had
still not materialised or had missed
them. I also saw one of my first large red damselfly’s of the year and managed
to get a passable picture with my phone.
10th May
House hunting in Norfolk we saw a Red kite over the car near Brandon and
stopped at Weeting heath and saw the
stone curlews during a lull in our search. Later we popped in Lakenheath fen
for a cuppa and had our first decent views of swifts for the year
11th May
the incessant rain may have kept us in but the blue tits in our box
outside the kitchen window were going hard at it all day feeding their offspring
12th May
We were busy at home but we saw a trio of buzzards high over our house
and the first swifts of the year on the
patch Patch list 88
13th May A
visit to the lagoon was accompanied by multitudinous warblers in song, with
skylarks and yellowhammers and a few more thrown in for good luck and a sparrowhawk wafted past. I noted some
Agrimony growing on the lip of the chalk cliffs. A four spot chaser was seen by Les and I along the greenway, a male kestrel kept apace in front of us using the telegraph poles as hunting posts
