RSPB Frampton Marshes

Spending my holidays in East Anglia has meant I can visit some of the nature reserves that abound in this area.
On Friday 28 July I went to Frampton Marshes with Karen. The morning started off sunny but gradually cloud built up.   We spent several hours at the reserve and watching the bird life, including having good views of little ringed plovers from the hides. It was also nice to see a couple of spoonbills to add to my year list. Sandmartins were everywhere too, 

Species noted were:
starling, blackcap, goldfinch, pied wagtail, spoonbill, little egret, mallard, avocet, ruff, blacktailed godwit, dunlin, lapwing, swan, little ringed plover,
reed warbler, gadwall, dunnock, blackheaded gull, sand martin, swallow, woodpigeon.
