Santon Downham 07:00 - 09:30 Cloud clearing to sunny intervals, mild with moderate SW wind.
Had a couple of hours spare this morning before I headed back to London so I paid another visit to Santon Downham. A Barn Owl was hunting around the picnic place first thing and a Grey Wagtail was zipping up and down the river. I heard the unmistakable call of Crossbills and a group of about 17 flew over heading north, unfortunately they did not hang around and kept on their Northward journey, As numbers of Common Crossbills have been very low this year can only assume that they were the Parrot Crossbills that have been seen in the area recently. The Otter again put on another great show for the group of 10 or so people who had assembled on the bank.
