The quiet at dawn was interrupted by a Goshawk calling in woodland, the first bird I heard this morning and a remarkable call carrying across the countryside.
I thought I could hear a Woodlark despite the noise of the wind, I walked slowly to the boundary of the army training area and eventually located a singing male Woodlark displaying over heathland.
A scan of distant heathland produced a male Kestrel sitting in a bush, and much closer to me was a calling Chiffchaff.
Small numbers of Song Thrushes passed overhead.
In my garden in Watton this afternoon a stunning female Southern Hawker remained a while on a Dog Rose.
