Perhaps the rumoured Orca snaffled five, on the long swim east to Weybourne (?).

Let us pray that they continue on their voyage without let or hindrance.
I think there a lot more CWdeer about that most people realise. An estate close to the Chet culled 14 the week before last over 2 days and the next day there were still 12 grazing on the marsh at dawn. Back in October I found 34 between the R Chet and the New Cut with a further 27 west of the new Cut to Haddiscoe and 7 on Fritton Marsh. The Broadland population must getting into the high hundreds and possable low thousands these days.
Here on Thorpe/Haddiscoe marshes only 7 or 8 years ago it was noteworthy to see a CWD - now I can't imagine going anywhere on the local marshes without seeing half a dozen or more. For example I counted 15 from a single (un-elevated) viewpoint over Thorpe marshes on Sunday & I'm sure I could have doubled that if I'd tried. It's also noticeable how common they are away from the river valleys now - over the last year or two they seem to have become much more visible & numerous than muntjac. Further evidence is the increasing number of CWD corpses on the roads: I saw 3 new casualties on a single day within 2 miles of Haddiscoe last week!

I found this unfortunate Polecat type animal already dead on the side of the road yesterday along the Shropham Road near Snetterton and wondered if anyone might have opinions as to its possible origin. I have purposefully blanked out its eye on one of the photos out of respect for the poor thing.
Thanks.
