I can't see the original sticky so will start a new thread.  Saw nearly 30,000 knot on Breydon Water yesterday.  Great weekend at Minsmere, Otter, Kingfishers, Bitterns, lots of Marsh Harriers

I see that the Parrot Crossbills are back at Thetford Forest.  If anyone would like directions to get to see them please let me know

Excellent start to your 2018 year list, very envious.  And a great photo too.

Thanks Pliers, I'm on a roll, Desert Wheatear then this Little Auk. My last decent spot was a Great Grey Shrike at Alkborough which made the papers and web, that was years ago mind!

2 reed buntings on out garden ground feeder this morning. We do see them locally, but very unusual for them to venture into the garden.

We've just got one Snowdrop popping up as well, Bruesmile

Just heard our first Woodpecker drumming of the season, followed closely by his rival. Heard a Mistle Thrush singing away this morning and watched over 150 Pink Feet flying over the house, an unusual sighting here.

Quite amazed to see a Blackcap eating from our suet ball feeder today. I know some of them over-winter but not normally this far north.

We had one in our garden last winter. A birding friend told me it was probably a winter visiter from Eastern Europe. 

Saw a mole on the moors this afternoon. It was running along the bottom of a drystone wall. I've never seen one before, plenty of evidence of their presence but never seen an actual mole. Seemed strange, does anyone know if it's normal for them to be above ground in the winter.
