not birds hope you don't mind
Slightly off topic but hope you don't mind...
I managed to photograph the Aurora Borealis on Sunday night/Monday morning from Cley visitor centre car park, photo attached and more on my blog
Didn't actually see a huge amount, but the photos are pretty much as I took them. It took 3 minute exposures to bring out this much so you can imagine what it was like with naked eye!
Popped down Cley beach this evening as the sunset looked like was going to be pretty good following thunderstorm and it certainly was.
The sun was setting to the west and the thunderstorm was raging some distance in the east, a few photos attached.
Will try to add some avian content next time!

Caspian Tern
This is one mobile bird !
Yesterday it was at Buckenham until 5.10pm
Breydon - 7.14pm - 7.37pm
Strumpshaw - 8.05pm - 8.10pm
back at Breydon - 8.55pm
28 minutes from breydon to buckenham, then 45 minutes back again, an impressive beast, appears to be ringed as well ?

I wonder if the possibility of two individuals has been ruled out?
The one at Titchwell last year was ringed too, returning bird?

I don't mind either. Some spectacular, moody images of our beautiful county. :t:

Caspian
Good to catch up with the Caspian on my daily walk: jammed in at Buckenham around 10.00am Nice Barn Owl at the windpump, plus Hobby, Buzzard and Gatekeeper!
Also good to meet the Squire of Attleborough, Mick Saunt, who amazed (and gripped me!) by saying he had Yellow Wag and Woodlark on his garden list! Makes my Turtles look a bit ordinary!

Mobility of Caspian
It was at Buckenham until 11.45, when it flew off north-east, towards Cantley and Breydon, then not seen again here until 13.20, flying along the river from the Breydon direction. Could this behaviour be a regular feeding trip, explaining its regular disappearances from Strumpshaw/Buckenham? Seems you need patience!!

Not only does a Caspian Tern turn (or tern) up while I am working but now I have to suffer your incredible pictures of an event I have always longed to see :t:
Fantastic photos, Brian.

Don't worry there wasn't much visible to the naked eye.
This is the first time I have been gripped off by my own photos |:d|

Don't think so as this birds ring is silver were as the Titchwell bird had a redish coloured ring...http://pennyshotbirdingandlife.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/caspian-tern-has-ring.html
Cheers,
Robert
If the ring has been on a while it could well be slightly rusty rather than bright silver. Anyway, this bird is a sub adult so different.

But still waiting for Turtle Dove...........
Saw one in Norwich on Wednesday. Carrying out a survey in Anson Road, on the Airport Industrial Estate, I noticed it in one of the adjacent yards!
We also have a pair that visit our construction yard in Bergh Apton. I heard their gentle purring in the adjacent woodland for several days until eventually they visited us to feed on the bird seed that we put out. They've been back several times since!

1 Spoonbill became 2 at Stiffkey Fen this afternoon with a juvenile and adult present.
Quite a few Med Gulls around as well.
Pictures to follow on the blog, both of them!
