Well, we ended up at Weeting Heath but started the day at Mayday Farm again, at a different drinking pool but after a couple of hours and only seeing a distant Woodlark, we gave up and moved to Weeting Heath.

We hoped for close views of Stone Curlew but that did not work either - too distant and heat haze - so we spent the rest of the afternoon in the drinking pool hide where there was plenty of activity. Sunny conditions that, once again, presented the usual problems of light and shade but the first to show was a Blue Tit coming in to drink

followed by Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Great Tit.

There was even a pair of Chaffinches, now becoming very scarce in my county and even this one was showing evidence of Scaly Leg.

A Nuthatch was a regular visitor, collecting mud for the nest hole somewhere off the reserve.

and we even had a visit from a Mistle Thrush.

But the star of the show was a male Sparrowhawk that treated us to a quick visit and exit before checking us out from a nearby tree and then returning to drink.

So another enjoyable day in the Brecks.
