Evening in Daukes hide, seeing a 1W Caspian Gull, 2 adult Yellow-legged gull, 6 Glossy ibis hidden away behind some reed and tall grass on Pat's pool - light didn't help either! A Barn owl did a flyby as I was packing up to leave. The geese dropping in, was the highlight of my evening - brilliant!

Warmest day today for atleast a few weeks! My first Cuckoo of the spring, also first sightings of Hairy hawker and 4-spot chaser. Finished the day off, with a Barn owl hunting, a Water rail calling and, a cracking sunset!

Camper vans wonder why they get bad press, one of them has emptied their toilet at a local layby on the North Norfolk coast - why come here, all that way just to treat the place like a sewage works? 😱
