Magical!

Watching over Dengemarsh from viewing ramp on the fine still evenings this week, have epitomised the reason I moved here. Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers singing all around, Bitterns booming, Bearded Tits and Reed Buntings flitting through the reeds, Water Rails, Moorhens and Coots squealing and squawking, Marsh Harriers floating over the reed beds, Common Terns fishing the open water, Great White and Little Egrets, along with Grey Herons Common Buzzards, Lapwings, Oystercatchers flying and calling over the fields, Hobbys hawking all around and Cuckoo's still calling, then as the sun sets millions or probably billions of insects rise out of the reed beds there wings buzzing absolutely magical! I tried to photograph the scene but none did it any justice, I wish I was more articulate and able to describe the magical scene but alas I'm not. 

The local Barn Owls have been particularly busy this week feeding rapidly growing young, at the moment there appears to be no shortage of rodents with which to feed them.
