No proper birding today but went to have lunch with family near Heacham. On the drive over, I saw a bird of prey cross the road up ahead. Had a look when we got closer and was stunned to see a gorgeous female
Montagu's Harrier flying alongside the car! My grandad was driving and there was nowhere to stop, but still great to see one so close, even if it was only for a few seconds.
Also of interest today was this pheasant near Heacham, presumably a lady amherst x golden hybrid. It was very tame and I believe a collection nearby does keep both these species. Still a very attractive bird
nonetheless.
