NORWICH: Bowthorpe Glossy Ibis

19th March 2022

A Glossy Ibis had been found in the Earlham/UEA/Bowthorpe area earlier in the week, but the first opportunity I had to go and look at it wasn't until the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised that it had stayed, understandably appearing to favour an area across the river where it couldn't be disturbed. It was feeding constantly whilst I was there, showing well in the sunshine. 

Nearby a pair of Oystercatchers were in a field and a Skylark sang overhead.
