Brief visit to Watton Brook Valley at Little Cressingham

I decided on an early visit to Watton Brook Valley whilst there was bright sunshine, later in the day, cloud and rain moved in.
Post breeding dispersal has happened, leaving this years territories appearing lifeless, however, checking the lush valley, movement was detected with some Whitethroats in and out of dense vegetation alongside the brook.  One young Whitethroat was seen on fencing from which it made a flycatching sally for a passing moth species.
Also of note in the valley was a flock of about 30 Linnets, undoubtedly birds of varying ages here.
Little else seen, however, I bet there must have been plenty of Reed Warblers on the move now through cover in the valley.
