nice catch, looks a bit muddy. I wonder what it’s been trying to/eating?
The birds have been a bit sparse recently even in the garden.

agreed, is this related to the article I saw saying Anglian Water wants to open two new reservoirs by 2030. I’ve not seen a proposed location but I’d be excited to visit for the reasons you mentioned.
It’ll be a bit barren to start with but the biodiversity will develop, I’d expect a lot of migrating geese etc. would be pretty happy it existed.

great catch, last weekend I tried to get a Norfolk Hawker. I just made myself dizzy trying to follow it!

yeah you got some cracking shots! Could you hear it at all?
We loved the noise of the Knot at Snettisham when it came over head.

I like the whistle call they make, it’s so different to most other UK ducks.

you’re right, if the numbers are to be believed…

excellent roundness!

We did also see the Spoonbills, a juvenile was clearly hungry and chased its parent down to be fed!

A juvenile Grey Heron waded through the reeds to see if the Egret had found a good spot to fish.

You’ve really made the most of that location.

that’s a very healthy looking fox, a lovely photo in the last of the light.
You can’t tell the IOS was up, it’s very clean and sharp.

A male Bearded Tit (or Bearded Reedling) perched deep in the reeds at NWT Hickling Broad.
It didn’t make a sound, I only spotted it as the reeds started moving several feet in front of the platform. We’d only stopped for a few minutes break on the bench.

great shot, I like the negative space showing the cloud palette matching the shaded bird. The yellow feet make an effortless monotone.
