Little Bittern, Lakenheath Fen, Suffolk, 21st May 2015. At close range and singing almost constantly, but entirely hidden in the reeds apart from one quick flight view - despite a total of eight hours waiting, listening to it, but hoping for more views. Still, with other birds around too, a nice place to wait!

Barnacle Geese, Pope's Marsh, Cley, 12th May 2015. These eight new arrivals are of unknown origin - apparently feral birds are breeding again at Holkham Park Lake and they often flight over the wall onto the Freshes (where at least 28 were seen recently) and they doubtless wander from there.

Female Moltoni's Subalpine Warbler, Blakeney Point Plantation, 11th May 2015. A number of observers reportedly heard this female calling like the male, making it too a definite Moltoni's if confirmed. Very many thanks to all in the chain of at least four people who got my camera to me out on the Point after I left it behind in my rush to jump on a boat that was just departing!
