Much lighter winds today that made birding easier although passerine migrants were still in short supply. The Bee-eater was still present at Norwick this morning although roaming far more widely today feeding high in the sky - at 4.15pm I heard and then saw it flying purposefully high south over Haroldswick calling continuously as it did so. Completely unforeseen was the surprise reappearance of the Common Buzzard seen flying west over Norwick at 11am.
