The Brecks - 7th July 2012

We spent the morning at Lakenheath today, the Orioles were a struggle. We only managed to hear the male GOLDEN ORIOLE calling and singing a few times but no views were had. We did however score with a COMMON CRANE in flight, 2 Bitterns in flight, 2+ Cuckoo still around and calling, Water Rails (h), lots of Marsh Harriers including fledged juveniles, a Hobby hawking for dragonflies and a Cetti's Warbler singing and seen close up in flight.

After lunch we visited various sites around the forest seeing a male Firecrest still singing, Tree Pipit displaying, Sparrowhawk and 6 STONE CURLEWS.
