What have you seen

They're eggs Goldie!  (What's my prize?)  

Curlews I think! 

Are they  thrush? what size

Curlews!

In one of our fields a few miles from the main holding. We've had someone walking up from the village  and monitoring for three weeks, (could hear the birds) and they've now seen the nest, which we will protect in due course.

Lovely! One of my favourite sounds (and sights), sadly decreasing in the last few years though. 

Great birds, we are lucky in Norfolk as Curlews do pretty well.  Nothing like walking through misty marshes and hearing the ethereal calls of them

Here's one of our Mistlethrush fledglings, photos taken yesterday. I also did a video as they are very noisy and demanding. First time we have seen them fledging although we know they are here.

 Was fortunate enough to hear Curlews calling, and spotted a few on the marshes, during my ride out this afternoon. Also saw Oystercatchers, hundreds of gulls, Long Tailed Tits and a pair of Bullfinches.

We saw a pair of long tailed tits on our exercise yesterday. Plus couple of 'fluff ball' moorhen chicks and a common tern in addition to the usual suspects.

Long walk this morning from home via the river, the beach and local golf course to Horton and back.  

At the river watched Cormorant pull out an Eel

At the golf course saw a dozen Sand Martins so if mates were on the nest that’s at least 24 birds.  Next time I’ll go down on the beach and watch the nests.  Heard my first cuckoo and saw my first Sky Larks of the year.  On the way back saw a Ring Ouzel and a couple Black Caps.

Not wildlife but also spotted 5 oil tankers moored offshore, no doubt waiting for oil prices to rise
