Either, they are best of friends and, the rhino doesn't want to kill him! Or, the rhino has had his ass kicked by the deer and, is trying his best not to get another asswhoopin!

Evening in Daukes hide, seeing a 1W Caspian Gull, 2 adult Yellow-legged gull, 6 Glossy ibis hidden away behind some reed and tall grass on Pat's pool - light didn't help either! A Barn owl did a flyby as I was packing up to leave. The geese dropping in, was the highlight of my evening - brilliant!

My day started off well today, I was just about to walk out the door, to go to work. When, our local WhatsApp group, let the news out of a Caspian tern on Cley NWT reserve.

Good evening at Cley this evening, Hobby over and, two Green sandpiper - one of which did a close flyby calling loudly! Though, highlight for me, we're the 100 plus Med gulls we saw! Peak count on Simmonds scrape, was 39, most I've ever seen there - one of my fave gulls!

I know of half a dozen olive trees in North Norfolk, probably came in with these over the last few years?

Warmest day today for atleast a few weeks! My first Cuckoo of the spring, also first sightings of Hairy hawker and 4-spot chaser. Finished the day off, with a Barn owl hunting, a Water rail calling and, a cracking sunset!

A good morning at Cley, seeing male American Wigeon and Glossy ibis at Salthouse. Then, after coffee we went to see the Cley Wryneck, found in a local celeb birders garden. We had a Raven, rare locally, then after a short wait, good views of the target bird!

Camper vans wonder why they get bad press, one of them has emptied their toilet at a local layby on the North Norfolk coast - why come here, all that way just to treat the place like a sewage works? 😱
