Weeting Heath

An early start, leaving home at 4.15 and picking Gary up meant we were at the Norfolk Nature Reserve before 5.30. A close treecreeper was our first bird followed by coal tit, chiffchaff and goldcrest. The gates were locked so we hopped over the fence, heading for the east hide. No stone curlew, just plenty of rabbits and corvids. A cuckoo called in the distance. After a few minutes in the west hide Gary called a stone curlew, gave directions and lost it. However, another was immediately found, giving good but distant views. We then headed along the forest walk, seeing not much more than a few local dunnocks, finches, tits and a commmon buzzard. A quick journey home meant Gary was back home by 8.30, ready for a days work. Only worthwhile photo was this, of a female roe deer, who had a fawn in toe. Thanks to Gary for the shot of a very distant stone curlew, both camera and scope on full magnification
