31st May 2007 (Norfolk Day 6 - We're all going to the zoo today)

209. Little Owl Flitcham
210. Nightjar (3) Salthouse Heath

Also a male Golden Pheasant at Wolferton, the male Woodchat Shrike at Holme NWT, four Turtle Dove at Choseley and 5 different Barn Owls.

By the way, Banham Zoo seems to have one less Black Kite than last year - might this explain the Creakes bird?
