Brendon's Marsh at Hickling

On Sunday 4th July, on hearing of a PGP at Brendon's Marsh Hickling, I drove over early and parked in the car park, walking out right from the car park then taking a path to Stubb's Mill for 30 metres then turning right again I walked another 100 metres or so to a viewpoint overlooking the Marsh. Sadly no PGP, but 2 Black- winhged Stilts seen asleep on an island, with 2 male Ruff nearby, a Green Sandpiper on the marsh and a male Blue-tailed Damselfly on a grass stem just beyond the gate; pointed out by Maurice B (OFB was also present). A Spoonbill flew over our heads in a south- east direction and 2 buggling Cranes flew from the north to south. Also a Hobby seen dashingover the sky flying very high up and amongst the clouds. Walking back I saw Chris B from Norwich just the other side of the gate from the overflow car park and we enjoyed seeing a Painted Lady in the vegetation and a Silver- washed Fritillary flew past.
