Wheatears in the gloom and No Eagle (again X5)

On Thursday 21st March directly after work, I headed down to Lowestoft's North Denes and there were still 3 Wheatears on the North Denes Lowestoft (2 males, 1 female) near the sea wall around the Links Road end in the gloom at 6pm, no sign of any at the Net posts. On Friday 22nd March, a Sparrowhawk circled over the New day Theatre at the James Paget Hospital at lunchtime. Saturday 23rd March, a visit to Kessingland Sewage works where I was pleased to see a male White Wagtail feeding on the sewage beds and 3 Chiff- Chaff was somewhat overshadowed by news of the WT Eagle circling over Blundeston/ Somerleyton. I tried chasing it at Carlton Marshes- No Eagle, Corton- No Eagle, Breydon S.Wall- No Eagle. Extremely disappointing to miss this magnificent species for the fifth time in the Lizard area.
