NORWICH: City Grebe

27th July 2012

You know its a quiet time of year when a Great-crested Grebe is notable, but this one was at least a Norwich city centre tick for me.  I saw it near Pull's Ferry being bullied by the local Mute Swan brood and it then swam further along towards Bishops Bridge.  After this brief bit of excitement I returned home to scratch all of my mosquito bites from yesterday.

23rd July 2012

A typically uneventful walk around Thorpe Marsh, which was notable only for a few Brown Hawkers, a Skylark and a young Great-crested Grebe on the river.
