With a general dearth of anything interesting bird-wise locally (butterflies 1, birds 0 at the moment), the family headed off to East Anglia. From Friday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime we totalled: Serin, Red-Backed Shrike, Bitterns, Red-Spotted Bluethroat, Temminck's Stint, Black Kite (the Wrentham escape but what a bird!), Turtle Doves, Small Heath, Small Copper & Green-Veined Whites as just the highlights...slightly better than Sussex then at the moment!

Temminck's Stint (honest, it was distant!):
