Second Try

We didn't arrive at Lynford until 8.45. By 9a.m. we'd seen six Crossbills - apparently eating leaf buds in a tall Paddocks tree -and then 3 Hawfinches, 1 male and 2 females.
St Helens picnic ground to eat breakfast and try for Lesser Spot en route. No sight nor sound. The picnic area still held about 50 Brambling in the riverside scrubby area, disturbed by a dog walker.
Just before the Recruiting Sergeant in Coltishall, a Woodcock flew 20 feet high across the road in front of us. Luck indeed.
