Double dip day

On Sunday 14th in the early afternoon, I tried for the GG Shrike near Thorington around the Church Farm area just off the A12 and there was no sign of it 2 Mistle Thrushes flying into the large trees by the road side only birds seen. At Rockland Broad once I'd worked out where to go (good there was a map giving directions at the site) on the walk down I heard my first Blackcap of the year and 1 additional heard from the hide too. Failed to see any Ospreys but a calling Greenshank that flew south right over the hide was nice as was the Spoonbill flying east over the Broad called by OFB, Maurice B and earlier John B & Julie B seen earlier). Still awaiting more summer migrant sightings, Swallows in particular are conspicuous by their absence.
