RSPB Minsmere today. Breakfast around the fire first of course. Today this consisted of smoked mackerel scrambled egg and toast. Seeded bread toasted on an open fire with real butter is something to behold! This was followed by another round of picnic making and more suncream.
We arrived in time to have lunch next to the Sand Martins then watch the bird ringing. We saw White Throats, Lesser White Throats, a Willow Warbler, Goldfinch, Chaffinch and a Wren all being ringed. The highlight though was seeing a Bee Eater. The last I saw one I was making my way through The Gambia. This one was a long way off so only a golden speck in the distance but still quite something!
The boys watched Toy Story when we got back and chilled by the fire. A more relaxed day is in order tomorrow.
