Norfolk

Was in the area, so birded the east coast of Norfolk from Yarmouth to Waxham, from late morning until dusk. It was extremely quiet with no migrants at all apart from a couple of Redpolls that were probably migrants at Winterton. Highlights were several Red-throated Divers and a couple of Mediterranean Gulls.

Fowlmere

Very quiet first thing (as was Shepreth at dusk.) About thirty Skylarks and a Buzzard. At midnight a Muntjac was calling loudly in Foxton.

Badger!

Whilst watching a very close young Fallow Deer (there were several others nearby as well as the usual Munjac), a Badger walked in to the open on the main track. Although it was seen for less than a minute it was at close range. The first I've seen (alive!) for a few years. A Barn Owl also flew over the same spot and was heard screeching later. At least three Tawny Owls were also heard.

Earlier in the day, several Common Darter and a single Migrant Hawker were seen in the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge.
