Cantley

Much later than we planned, it was mid morning before arrival at the Beet Factory on a warm sunny day. What a change from yesterday. Two Greenshanks behind the gate where we parked started well.
Surprise. The Lumpy Lagoon isn't. It's full of water without a lump of mud in sight. We startled a Green Sandpiper and there were a few Teal.
The pools at the far end were also full until we got to the reed fringed tank which is being drained, showing a lot of mud. At least two more Green Sandpipers here,  2 Curlew, 20 Ruff, 6 Black-tailed Godwits and 2 Snipe. Cetti's called in the distance and a Reed Warbler flitted below us.
Buckenham RSPB Hide was the next port of call. I love looking out on a sunny, reedy Norfolk Marsh, usually what we do at Strumpshaw. Two Marsh Harriers to-day, we left before we were reduced to counting Coots again.
