Lakenheath Fen...

Spent the morning at Lakenheath Fen, an RSPB reserve. I heard bitterns ‘booming’, and was lucky enough to see one in flight. I watched a pair of marsh harriers performing their mating flight: amazing. I was hoping to see hobbies hunting over the reedbeds, but I was told that they’re easier to spot later in the day, when there are more insects on the wing. Everybody but me spotted a great white egret. Never mind; it was a relaxing way to spend a few hours…
