A skyful of birds

On our way down to Norfolk we stopped off at Frampton Marsh RSPB reserve. The first sunny, dry and warm day for quite a while! A welcome break dominated by thousands of Golden Plover and Lapwing wheeling round and catching the light as they turned. Other highlights included the Tundra Bean Geese  -thanks to the help of a friendly bird watcher with a scope and spotting the Merlin that was responsible for continually moving the birds round.

And the culprit that kept putting the birds up...on the post, a Merlin.
