    Prepared to go for the Poshawk this morning, but again stunted by the traffic report that roads are extremely slippery. No New Year birds yet. Hope a change in the next few days.

    The queue of pictures is getting very short. A week in Norfolk produced lots of birds but not many pictures. At least I managed some shots of of this bird which I only ever get to see in Norfolk.

    We've had up to six of these around for the last few weeks. Not a species that we see very much of in the north east. Most years we're lucky to see one or two birds so this year we've had a real bonus.

    The small dark spots on the pic are not dirt on my lens, are small insects flying around the bird.

    The Spoonbill moved along the edge of the lagoon, after I discovered it post raptor sending everything up, scithing it's way through a few fish until came across one of the Avocet pair. I thought the expression was indearing.
