A Study in Scarlet

on Thursday 9th September after I had finished work at 2.30pm, I went to John H's at Hemsby and saw the Large Red Underwing he had caught, next stop Waxham, walking half way down Penny Lane the row of bushes leading off to the left eventually revealed the brighter more timid Red- backed Shrike and a female Yellowhammer and a couple of Whitethroats. The confiding one was nowhere to be seen. By the old area where the confiding bird had been (apparently spooked by a Sparrowhawk), a confiding Wheatear sat in a bush, obviously very tired after its long journey.
