RSPB Central London Local Group coach trip to Lakenheath/BTO HQ.
Morning in Lakenheath. The golden orioles were audible but not visible. Blackcap, cuckoo, hobbies (my first ever), many house martins, kestrel, marsh harrier, reed and sedge warblers, many swifts, whitethroat.
Afternoon visit to the BTO HQ (the Nunnery) at Thetford. Talk by man in charge, followed by guided walk around the nature reserve. A few Egyptian geese. Red-legged partridge, willow warbler singing.
