Rutland Water 12th May 2017
We left our rented cottage in Thornham this morning but instead of going straight home we took the opportunity to go to Rutland Water again. We only went to the Egleton centre and started off going down to the Bittern Hide area where we immediately encountered a Nightingale hopping around in the vegetation at the side of the path to the hide and occasionally dropping…

Abbey Farm Bird Hide and Environs 11th May 2017
The last day in Norfolk before we set back off northwards the following morning was really just going to be a casual day a couple of practical things we had to do and also giving Anne a chance to drop in at the Lavender Farm nearby but still managed to get a little bit of birding in, including a good year tick.

Holme Dunes NWT, Chosely Drying Barns, Thornham 10th May 2017
Holmes Dunes NWT A break in the weather meant we at last had a nice sunny day so we hoped that more birds would be showing and that proved to be the case. We headed off the Holme Dunes NWT reserve and because we were there before opening time, we could not get past the barrier. No matter because our aim was to search for…

Santon Downham, Lynford Arboretum and Thornham 9th May 2017
This day we decided to go to Santon Downham near Thetford Forest with the aim of possibly finding some woodland or heathland birds. At the Forestry Commission office we picked up some maps and a helpful ranger suggested we go back down the road we had come down until we reached marker 21 (which was between Hartling Drove and the A134), a part of the…

Titchwell RSPB We booked on a guided bird walk around he reserve where they hope to see 70 species in three hours or so. We met up with Colin just before 10 am and it transpired that we were the only two people booked for the walk. Colin had just come back from a birding trip to Belorussia and it felt like he would rather…

Thornham, Holmes Dunes NWT and Chosely Drying Barns 7th May 2017
Thornham I went out for a bit of a walk around 8am but the weather, even though it was bit brighter than earlier in the week, was still cold and windy and there wasn’t much bird life apart from the gulls. I did, however, get a Great Black-backed Gull – a first for the holiday.

Titchwell RSPB , Holme Dunes NWTand Hunstanton 6th May
Titchwell We started out the day at Titchwell arriving there at 9am – an hour before they opened. We headed straight down to the first hide on the path that leads to the Parrinder hide. On our way down we could hear Sedge and Reed Warblers, Chiffchaff, Cetti’s Warblers and assorted other woodland birds. The weather was pretty cold, overcast and windy, so not much…
