HIGHLIGHTS

🦌 ROE DEER: A group of 4 roe deer grazed in front of the hide. My picture is dreadful! Sorry!
Look for their white cotton tails in my photo.

The is peaking in IP25, Breckland, Norfolk. Today's greatest sight: a multi-species raptor hunt (3 buzzards, a kestrel & a sparrowhawk) hunting a 70 something flock of starlings. I thought the video was on. It wasn't. Rookie mistake!

I managed to captured the sparrowhawk on one of it's favourite ambush posts. 🎯

What a day on the Stanta edge! There were many sightings today. The Yellowhammer has returned to the perches - a male providing a brilliant flash of red list gold in the morning light.

We also had a trio of roe deer grazing calmly in front of Wild Lands Hide. The resident barn owl made a final quartering pass at first light before heading back to the nesting box which has line of sight to the hide and a female sparrowhawk made her usual fast morning passes.

PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
The 7.30am to 9.30am light is currently falling well on the perches, with the low March sun giving strong contrast opportunities - I just need to improve my end of the camera!
