Sometimes called 'father before son' as the flowers come out before the rest of the foilage. This group were on Salthouse beach.
A pair of Ringed Plovers seem to be settling into my local patch, they bred last year so I'm hoping for the same again.
I noticed that on the Yare Valley Wildlife website (http://yarevalleywildlife.synthasite.com/bird-notes-2012.php)there was mention of some Bewicks and Whooper Swans hanging about by the A47 just outside Yarmouth. Having a fair idea exactly what field this would be from the description I thought I'd try to locate them on the way home from work. In the rush hour, in half light and at 60mph.
And in those conditions I did see some white blobs in the middle of a field as expected. I'm absolutely certain that they were swans, and the certainty ends there. A perfect description of the UTV, the un-tickable view. |
