A Great day in Norfolk

On Sunday 14th May, starting back along the A47 just west of Great Yarmouth, I looked initially from Britiannia farm Monty's, a chap was already and pointed to an area near Berney, but just this side of the river, where just left of a windmill where some cattle had grouped. I spotted the fine female Montagu's Harrier fly out and quarter the area just in front of the river. I knew Paul & Jane were viewing from an area by the corrugated iron hut about a mile further east. I texted them to say I had spotted it. I joined Paul & Jane and the Montagu's Harrier flew around and then came quite a bit closer over a field with sheep and showed well. In fact it was flying for some 45 minutes non stop constantly in view. As we walked back to th car parked in a layby along the Acle straight slightly closer to Great Yarmouth and Jane spotted a fantastic Wall Brown butterfly on the grass before it quickly flew off. We then drove to Cantley. We walked down to cantley Sewage Works, saw somne of the Dereham Boys and half way back along a ditch the fine Great Reed Warbler was seen below some white flowers before it disappeared. The bird showed 5X usually when some people were walking down the lane directly adjacent to the ditch and the bird would briefly pop out flying either over the ditch disappearing in reeds or popping out again in bushes or flying bacl to the furthest bush near the ditch. We also saw a male Blackcap, Whitethroat, Kingfisher, flew right past the ditch too. At Ormesby Little Broad an Osprey, perched up in a tree the farside of the Broad. A Cuckoo heard too & 2 Common Terns. Next stop Ness Point at Trinity road, a very smart male Whinchat popped up in a bush at the back of a yard, then seen from Hamilton road on fencing following a tip off from Rob wil, I then drove along to relocate the fine Early Purple Orchids along an east Norfolk roadside.
