We've spent the weekend in Suffolk (and a bit of Norfolk).
Friday evening, Nightjar survey, preceded by a fine barbeque and a tasty Firecrest:

Saturday, Sizewell:

Bee Orchid

Dunwich Heath
Sunday, Minsmere:

Common Tern. I thought this was a very artistic style of defecation


Shoveler, drake moulting into
eclipse plumage

Tiny Moorhen

Speckled Wood (the only butterfly we saw all weekend!)

Juvenile Magpies outside the cafe

Looking south towards Sizewell

and west (inland)



Konik ponies
We stopped off at Lakenheath in hope of hearing Golden Orioles, but didn't.

And the Ouse Washes at Earith, where we didn't see a Cattle Egret

Good clouds, though
photos taken with
Canon EOS 30D +
EF 300mm f/4L IS USM or
Canon Powershot A640
Love all these photos. Is that first bird a firecrest? I don't think I'v e ever seen one before.
