Norfolk weekend







As usual everything was extremely tame in Norfolk. This bittern was an incredible sight when it caught this water shrew less than 5 metres from the assembled crowd of photographers on Beeston Common.

The teal is a hybird green-winged(American) x Eurasian teal, as it has both vertical and horizontal white stripes in its flanks, both stripes are noticably less bold than is usual for these two species.

Wonderful! I've never been lucky enough to see a bittern.
