Our last day in Norfolk. Stopped off at Sculthorpe Nature Reserve intending to have a short walk with the dog. Unfortunately no dogs were allowed though except guide dogs. Carried on down to Cantley where we had distant views of some Taiga Bean Geese and some White-fronted Geese. The Taiga were a lifer for me so well pleased.
Then it was off to Thurne to look for some Common Cranes. RBA directions weren't particularly helpful and we ended up at a caravan site! Needless to say we dipped.
Setting the sat-nav for Long Stratton we did have a good, if brief view of a Merlin sat on a telegraph pole. At Long Stratton itself the Waxwings were sat on a tree behind the police station. A strange place to go birding:-O
Just planning the route home for tomorrow which may take in a reservoir in Leicestershire to allow Bud to stretch his legs
