Fifteenth time unlucky with WTE in Lizardland area
On Easter Sunday 4th April, midday I was out at St. Olaves, when I heard a WTE was circling over Carlton Marshes, and heading north, checking the marshes of St.Olaves, Herringfleet, Somerleyton Staithe, Flixton Marshes and Camps Heath failed miserably to sight the bird. 8 Buzzards, 2 Marsh Harrier seen and several flights of circling Gulls, but no Eagle. Following, a tweet from Rob Wil, hoping to salvage something from a disappointing day despite the excellent weather, I drove down to North Beach and saw the fine 1st winter Shag perched on groynes the extreme south one, opposite the Birds eye Factory, I got some pics although the bird was on the furthest most groyne post. It spent a lot of time stretching, scratching and looking around nothing seen at the Netposts, save for the usual flock of 22 Linnet.
