Hen Harrier, Stiffkey, 23rd December 2014. Only this distant male and one even more distant female showed this evening, in contrast to the about 17 Marsh Harriers roosting at Pope's Marsh, Salthouse, last evening. The latter were much more spectacular but much more difficult to count accurately.

Tundra Bean Geese with Pink-footed Geese, Choseley, Norfolk, 3rd December 2014. The two Tundra Beans were nice and close until birders started getting out of their cars. Whenever possible please view geese from inside your car. You don't need a tripod: just get your optics organised!
