Male Channel Wagtail, Kelling, 23rd April 2007 (Dave Curtis). In the past, this bird would probably have been considered a 'Blue-headed Wagtail'. A detailed article on 'Channel Wagtail' appears in this month's Birding World.

Male Common Whitethroat, Salthouse Heath, 23rd April 2007 (Steve Gantlett).

Black Kite, Cley, 22nd April 2007 (Steve Gantlett). This bird was first found over Dead Man's Wood, Sheringham, mid morning, then showed well by the A148 over Pretty Corner Woods before finally flying right across Cley reserve and disappearing west over the West Bank at 12.30pm.
