RFF at Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe

On Saturday 18th June, a text from Alison revealed they had a Red- foot on their marsh, so at around 5.20pm I left and the sat nav got me to the Lane but I initially couldn't find the farm, fortunately Paul & Jane F drew up and said follow them, a sign on the left which I had missed simply spelt "RFF" and we parked by the farm and then walked down to the gate down again and then left and followed the marsh around a fenced area with plenty of Southern Marsh Orchids and over to the gate where Alison was standing and the fine 1st summer male Red- footed Falcon was on the telegraph wires very closely before it flew over to the wood and then perched in a tree. It then flew around again and caught a Norfolk Hawker eating the head and thorx with the wings being jettisoned and followed by the abdomen being dropped. It repeated these actions many time, having devoured at least 10 Norfolk hawkers, it then perched further away to the left before flying further right beforte once again perched fairly close on the wires. Later on a Red Kite flew past too.
