Norfolk - part 2

Here are some of the bird shots from Norfolk,taken mostly in the rain. You can see 3 extra pairs of legs underneath the female Avocet. These Spoonbills were breeding in Norfolk.

Ryan's Field and Land's End.

Nice to see some birds for a change, although we didn't get the Wryneck we hoped for.
These Sandwich Terns were taken at Ryan's Field, as was the Common Sandpiper.
The Ruff and Wheatear were taken at St. Gothian Sands.

This Common Darter took a fancy to John.
