Wednesday, after work I popped down to a chilly Felbrigg Lake, where amoung the usual suspects were three Dabchick! Now I've been looking hard for Dabchick all year here with not a sniff, so where'd they come from? They must have taken the same flight path as those darn Coots I reckon! Yesterday morning, like music to the ears, a Swallow was on power lines in the street churruping away to his self, looking forward to the warm spring weather.... yeah right! Go back now pal, snow's on its way!!
