Space Oddity II - Bowie

 Please don't ask the name of our continuing adventure as forgotten even before arrival, but fact was just off the edge of the ancient

BEECH FOREST
had been residing, for a few weeks now, a scarce
LITTLE BUNTING
had been residing for a number of days, but not now. However, our efforts were to see some reword as it had been replced by a
RING OUZEL
a member of the Thrush family which is more at home at altitude, mountainsides etc, and usually only seen on the flatlands during migration - a nice stroke of luck with a 'back-up cast' being none to shabby as well with the local
STEAM TRAIN
making a
Noisy Pass
and our first
Forget-me-Not
of the year along with distant veiws of a typical
Suffolk Village with attendant Windmillwith
ALEXANDRA
underfoot
and the occassional flitting of a
LIGHT ORANGE UNDERWING MOTH
(daytime flier)
but time for a move, through the self-same forest and onward to the
NORTH NORFOLK COAST
and its plethora of bird-life and met in the first instance
by a pair of noisy
GREYLAG GEESE
before being called back by the Warden to view a
GARGANEY
we had
overlooked.
Among the more expected were
LITTLE EGRET
AVOCET
displaying,
strolling,
feeding and in company with a single
RUFF
PERRIWINKLE
a most elegant
RED KITE
Identification Aid
MICROLIGHT
CURLEW
feeding.
