Kingfisher and Gey Wagtail Breckland Norfolk 21 February.From a riverside walk that also produced an overhead Buzzard to add to the Raptor list, having already enjoyed good views of male Goshawk and a soaring Red Kite at a nearby site.
Glaucous Gull Cley 19th February Close views of the gull on the Beach, with short flights to sit out on the sea when flushed by beachwalkers. Damage to the wing evident in photos below.
