Evening at Alkborough

Had the most wonderful evening at Alkborough yesterday - the weather during the day had been wet and very breezy but the evening was still, so as the author of The Shadoxhurst Garden (aka as Nick my brother) is visiting we decided on a late visit.  The light was fading as we  arrived at 7.30 but it seemed to make the sites and sounds even more special.
From the hide we had two fly bys from a Barn Owl, a Spoonbill, 23 Ruff, 1 Hobby, 1 Greenshank, 2 Greensand Pipers, 1 Snipe, 40+ Black-tailed Godwits and 10 roosting Little Egrets.
