Wren

Les and I spent an enjoyable few hours at the Welney WWT on the Ouse washes, this was one of a pair of wrens that were constantly landing just ouside the hide, prior to zooming off to feed their brood

Cuckoos at lakenheath fen



I have never seen more cuckoos! i had a wondwerful day at lakenheath fen, by 0630 i had seen Savi's warbler, Red footed falcon, grasshopper warbler and bittern in flight, the hobbies and cuckoos were later bonus's

Hobby




I spent the best part of a day at Lakenheath fen trying to photograph the red footed falcon that had taken up residence there but the hobbies made the trip worthwhile as my pictures of the falcon were disappointing.
