It has been seen from the first hide so no long walk,but after an hour all we pick out is a few Common Snipe, a single Kingfisher but no sign of the Jack Snipe.
So off to Lakenheath, the car park is empty on arrival, after a talk to the warden we are advised to walk the lower route as the top one was very boggy. I must say I find David in the visitor centre one of the most helpful an informative people that we come across on our trips around the reserves.
At Fen hide we have to wait a fair time before two Cranes fly over our heads & a few minutes later they fly back again but this time we see four of them, two of the Cranes come back over our heads again & the other two fly off to the right of us, what a great sight to watch such large birds fly by. Jimmy & I get a year tick when a Bittern flies past us.
Many Marsh Harrier's are seen plus one Buzzard & a Cetti's Warbler sit out in the open to give a short but clear view.
A quick look on the way home for a reported Lesser-spotted Woodpecker ends in failure but we are entertained by a couple of Grey Wagtails.
