The weather forecast looked reasonable but when I arrived at RSPB Lakenheath Fen it was drizzling and overcast and did not not really improve much all day. Close views of a Bittern which flew off from Mere Hide, but too low for any shots and the Marsh Harriers were fairly distant and in grey skies. A few Swifts at Joist Fen were my first of the year. One positive was a Cuckoo which perched up for a while.

A walk back along the river revealed a Great Egret but I could not find the reported Garganey.

Two Hobbies were hunting over the Washland.

Next stop was for Stone Curlew and whilst one bird was distant one was slightly closer allowing a few shots.

The final stop was Cavenham Heath to be greeted by a singing Woodlark and this Skylark.

A few Wheatear were present and the Heath makes a good photographic background for them.

It was also good to get one posing with a Stonechat.

Speaking of which, it's a great place for Stonechat including this smart male.

And also the less showy female.

A good end to the day despite the poor weather.
