After a heavy cold endured over the weekend it was nice to get out this morning. We stopped first at Cavenham where we scoped five Stone Curlew and five Wheatear. A Woodlark sang behind us but stopped every time I tried to get Dad onto it. A single Lesser Redpoll was seen with Linnets and the heath held many Stonechat and Skylarks along with Red-legged Partridge and Lapwing. Red Kite, Buzzard and Kestrel flew over and the lake held Shoveler, Shelduck and Greylags.
Following the success at Cavenham we headed up the road to Lakenheath where whilst scanning for Water Pipit we picked out at least six Garganey which we think could be our highest single site count. Four Great Egrets were seen but little else of note.
