There were no plans this morning, but that soon changed when Brian rang and asked if I wanted to make the trip to Great Yarmouth and hopefully connect with the nine Bee-eaters that had been seen around the allotments at Gapton Hall.
We left at 9.30 and were expecting heavy traffic on route, thankfully we enjoyed a trouble-free journey and two hours later were pulling onto Gapton Hall Road, only to be told the Bee-eaters had flown off and had not been seen since! We walked to the allotments and began searching, Twenty minutes later another birder thought he had a single bird perched in a tree at some distance.
We headed back to the car and drove round to the Rugby club car park and took the track leading towards the farm and was rewarded with stunning views.
