A Good Day…..

Today – sandwiched between the two extremes of packing boxes (we move house in a couple of weeks) and practising for various concerts, including a Mendelssohn Concerto on June 14th (see Concerts) – I awarded myself a day off! The weather in Norfolk was superb and a trip to the RSPB reserve at Snettisham, on the east coast of the Wash, was very enjoyable and resulted in some great photographic opportunities. This evening, just before dusk, we also ventured out into Thetford Forest and had some excellent views of Nightjars, as well as hearing their distinctive whirring call and wing-clapping display flight.

This Oystercatcher was just returning to its eggs, having initially been disturbed by our arrival.

Just about to settle down.....

Getting comfortable!

Sorted!
