A productive trip to Norfolk / Suffolk for me over the last three days but it looks like I've missed out on yesterday's Sanderling - no sign this morning.
Nice to see that the LRP's on the flashes now have 4 chicks - record shot below (not sharp due mainly to heat haze)

Glad you had a good trip Dave, now I've finished uni until late sep :eek!:
I may head off to Dorset/Somerset for a few days, I would love to see/hear a Nightjar and I believe they have them at Arne in Dorset B

Dave, Make us jealous. Tell us what you saw in Fenland.

Hi Gav,
I had good views of a male Nightjar yesterday evening at Dersingham Bog, Norfolk. If you're heading for Dorset, I can recommend Studland Heath for this species - I've had fabulous views of them there, too.:t:

I said "make us jealous" but this is overdoing it.

After an enforced lay off i returned to Upton this week, managing to get 3 trips in. all 5.30am starts and each until 9am at the moors. couldnt beleive how much has changed in just a few weeks. Got some good pics of Oystercatcher with chicks, for an ahh moment have a look in gallery under waterrailus. Yesterday, in front of east hide, kingfisher doing its hummingbird impression. Also saw prospective new home buyer? see attached. I must admit its great to be back at Upton. regards Dennis
