It was mostly about the raptors today with 12 Marsh Harrier coming out of the West Harbour roost and 2 Merlin were out on Hartland Moor. This morning 3 different White-tailed Eagles were causing havoc around Swineham/Arne Moors, looking as if they were eying up the ever-growing Canada and Greylag Goose flock.

There were also 2 Spotted Redshank in Holes Bay NE.
