We think as a Little Bittern had been seen on the way up to Cley we like the look of that so that's where we head.We have no luck looking for the Little Bittern so head on up to Cley.
Parked up we are soon in Daukes hide & spot 5 Temminck's Stints out on a distant scrape to far for any photos of them but fair scope views.
Didn't hang about in the hide long as we heard that a Little Stint had been seen over on the East bank. It's a bit of a walk & after an hour looking we find no sight of the Stint but get 2 year ticks when 5 Little Terns & a single Rock Pipit show from Richardson view point.
Back in the car 4 Spoonbills fly over Walsey Hill & drop onto the scrape in front of Babcock hide.
A quick park of the car & we are looking out at the birds, a really nice close view & for once the bills were on show.
Going past the American airbase at Lakenheath people were all along the road & the viewing area was full up with cars,so somethings happening.
We find a space & join the crowd & ask what's going on ,it turns out that a few F16 fighting Falcons
were landing soon coming in from Florida for the D Day celebrations.
Soon the Falcons fly in & what a spectacular sight it was.
The planes flew over our heads putting on a grand display & the sound was something incredible to hear.
Then a real bonus when a C 17 transporter taxied round & took off flying straight over head what a buzz. What a great way to finish our day.
