NORFOLK 6TH - 9TH JUNE 2007

OUR ORIOLES, AVOCETS AND THICK KNEES tour from 6th – 9th June produced an astonishing array of birds. Eight Eurasian Woodcocks, five Stone Curlew, three Eurasian Nightjars, five Hawfinches, Barn, Tawny and Little Owls, Golden Orioles, Garganey, Firecrest, Turtle Dove and two Wood Larks were the highlights of the first day! The second day was very wet, but a pair of Montagu’s Harriers doing a food pass helped cheer everyone up and we also saw Little Tern, Little Gull, Common Greenshank and Corn Bunting. On the final day, we had great views of Honey Buzzard, then Dartford Warbler, Tree Pipit, two Barn Owl, two Bearded Tits, a breeding plumaged Curlew Sandpiper and finished with a female Red-backed Shrike!! If you would like to see this kind of selection of birds, then why not join us next year for some of the best summer birding available anywhere in the UK.
