There were plenty of reasons to be cheerful when we visited Breckland sites on Sunday. For us it was displaying Wood Lark and Goshawk at Olley’s Farm, a Great Grey Shrike at Grimes Graves, and four Stone Curlews at Weeting Heath - the most we've ever seen at this site.
But more importantly, for the birds it was just that Spring had arrived - singing and displaying on a warm, sunny day. We loved seeing them all, not just the rarer birds. In fact, this Yellowhammer was one of our favourites, here perched at the top of a pine tree…
… and this little Wren – singing his heart out from a convenient stump in the middle of a pine planting.
