Frustrating day

Before work, on Wednesday 16th April, I arrived at 7.15pm but just missed the Hoopoe in the field opposite Broadland Sands, it flew north and I missed it again when the Hoopoe was seen by Paul & Jane. However, I did see my first Swallow, of the year. On the field by Radar Lodge in the middle of the field, a line of 42 Golden Plovers, most in very smart breeding plumgae but als no time to photo them as I had to be in work by 8.30am. At 3.10pm, I went over to the field opposite Broadland Sands but unfortunately birders were standing on the site right next to the Hoopoe's feeding area, this is also a private site and meant we didn't see the Hoopoe, although I had a brief glimpse of a bird that could have been it, but another camouflage jacketed birder walked down and flushed it. Erring on the side of caution, I dscounted it.
