Still no American Bittern, but four more year ticks!

Brian and Norman picked me up even earlier than usual for a bash at the American Bittern at Carlton Marshes. Despite six hours on site, we still failed to catch a glimpse (although RBA suggests it turned up after we left!) Maybe I'll have a last go one evening...

Lots of Buzzards and Marsh Harriers to enjoy, as well as more Yellow Wagtails and a dapper little Barnacle Goose.

The fine weather continues to open the doors to migrants: today we added Sedge Warbler, Cuckoo (distantly!) and Willow Warbler to the year list while waiting for the Bittern and - on the way home - Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Hen Harrier and Blackcap at Waxham.

Drinks on the patio with Peter to welcome the bees and the first barbecue of the year too!
