Red Footed Falcon at Lakenheath

I made another trip to Lakenheath today hoping to tick Golden Oriole but also aware that the Red Footed Falcon has been showing well for a couple of days over New Fen giving better views than I had a couple of weeks ago over Joist Fen. On arrival I walked around to New Fen and sat at the hide but with a lot of grass strimming going on I decided to move to the other end of New Fen and this paid off as I quickly found the Red Foot sitting in a tree before a Hobby came in and the two birds hawked over the reeds giving me the chance to grab a few photographs of each. By the time I left several hours later I'd had great views and had the bonus of four Bittern, a Marsh Harrier and a Cuckoo but unfortunately I didn't manage to pick up even a call from the Oriole so will need to return again.
