Around the Trinity Broads & Eagle Owl spectacular

On Saturday 30th November, I visited the trinity Broads which is always a very pleasant trip out. At Filby, I could see 15 Goldeneye with around 3 males seen. Also 20 Pochard seen too but scan as I might for around 30 minutes from the Boardwalk I could not see the BN Grebe. Around 20 Pochard seen from Ormesby Little Broad too. Walking back 2 charming Marsh Tits seen low down with a Coal Tit and female Siskin seen too. I drove over to Billockby barn and saw Justin L. and his family, no sign of the Cranes but Justin said they had flown to the far side of the field I drove back around 100 yards then took the road north and after 100 yards parked in a space just off the road to the left and spied a nice total of 20 Cranes feeding in the fields. A look at Ormesby broad was instantly successful with the Long- tailed Duck seen often diving. A quick pop home and then it was back out again to travel to Winterton, as I was travelling along Bulmers Lane, I could see some birders looking across, so I parked at the Church and walked back and saw Steve S, Tim H and other birders and they had their scopes trained on the magnificent Eagle Owl perched 2/3 of the way up a Pine tree, viewed from 10 Bulmers Lane and next door to birder's Patrick G's house. The bird was initially partially obscured so only half the face and body could be seen but it leapt onto another branch right out in the open, we marvelled at its piercing orange eye, magnificent talons as it preened and wing stretching. Justin spotted a Sparrowhawk male which swooped down Bulmer Lane, weaved around the bushes bordering garden on the east side of the road before it perched on Winterton church tower. We walked around to and from here a much bigger crowd of birders marvelled at this magnificent bird.At around 4pm it suddenly leapt of its per and flew around on a magnificently broad wings and then flew right over out heads and then perching on Church Tower roof. from here it perched for a while before it leapt down onto the roof and out of sight presumably after Pigeons which had been present here minutes previously. On Sunday 1st December, a look at Filby Broad, this time with the Boardwalk to myself and I instantly spied the fine Black Necked Grebe really distant but swimming just to the left of the wooden platform.
