Birding Day off and visit to Norwich Cathedral 10th May 2022
On the 10th we moved from out hotel in Mundford and on to The Weyford Bridge Hotel at Wayford Bridge in the Broads. As we finished our breakfast the chef started speaking to us and it turned out that he was a keen raptor man with his own business, Norfolk Hawk Walks.

Nunnery Lakes and Weeting Heath 9th May 2022
If Santon Downham and the other sites around Thetford were a little disappointing the previous day, our visit to BTO Nunnery Lakes made up for it this day.

But the best bird of the day was seen when we stopped at…

Pennington Flash 26th April 2022
The birding group visit to Pennington Flash on the 26th April turned out to be a really, warm and sunny day with very little wind. The foliage is all back on the trees now, making spotting birds trickier, but they are full of bird song. We got lots of warblers but also three Spring visitors.
