Having spent all day searching for the White-tailed Eagle several of us were finally rewarded this evening as David Norgate alerted us to another bird he had seen with 2 Common Buzzards behind us as we waited at TF754287. We thought it was worth investigating and so drove back towards Anmer... -

I would like to say that I have been up and about birding over the last few days but what with the miserable weather and having to work yesterday my best bird sighting was a Barn Owl flying by the end of our road yesterday evening. However it did give me an opportunity to finish my trip report... -
