Dear all,
I would be very grateful for information on a trip I am planning for next weekend. Currently torn between two possible locations.
I have recently heard that a place called Wolferton Triangle near King's Lynn is excellent for golden pheasant. I've seen those birds once before- and would like to add more pictures of them to my collection. Is Wolferton Triangle still any good for them?
I am a huge raptor enthusiast, and wonder if anything like that can be seen at Dersingham Bog. Maybe, judging by the nature, hen harrier or merlin? If not, what is of note in that place? The place looks immensely interesting...
In addition, I am very interested in four particular species in the Brecks.
For firecrest, is there a best and most reliable place to view them?
For lesser spotted woodpecker, I have heard that there is an excellent place for them in Santon Downham- can anyone be a little more specific than that? This bird I have seen lots and lots in Russia, but the fact that it is so rare here makes it a juicy target for my camera.
For great grey shrike, have there been any sightings in Thetford Forest recently? They are incredibly rare in Russia, and if it is present I would appreciate info to go out and photograph it. And are there any rough-legged buzzards?
And, finally, are there any reliable owl spots in the area of Santon Downham? I would like to add Tawny Owl to my collection...
I would appreciate info on those places, and also if you would like to provide recommendations, help me out choose a destination for birdwatching, the third in a chain of hugely-successful trips to Lakenheath Fen and Wicken Fen over the weekends.
Are any of the Brecks birds I mentioned at all photogenic?
Thank you!!!
