Is it ok with you if I record this turtle dove sighting on Operation Turtle Dove please!
 
A good day

Alison and I went to Holme where we connected with Stuart and Rob and the Barred Warbler.

Then to Titchwell where the Pec Sand didn't show for us but a Water Rail put on a nice show in the sunshine. The Parrinder Hide is growing on me - perhaps the windows being open in the warm weather has a lot to do wih it.

A Chinese Water Deer on Thornham Marsh showed well - it had a distinctive torn ear.
