Watton Brook Valley, Little Cressingham, Norfolk

My attention this time of year always turns to the Watton Brook Valley where I search for migrants.  Today did not reveal any Chat species, however, given the long and meandering nature of the brook, along with fantastic lush habitats and various small tributary-like ditches, I am sure that many migrants would have been present within the valley.

Toby today - always patiently waits when I am birding

Incessantly calling young Buzzards were heard from woodland habitats and a number were soaring high on thermals, however, the most interesting observation was of a Buzzard standing facing a Hare in some kind of 'Face-Off', I was unable to ready the camera in time for a picture, which I feel, would have been a great talking point.
A few Whitethroats were seen in roadside hedgerow and woodland edge, possibly true migrants, and 4 Bullfinches flew directly above me.
Overviewing fields and woodland, close to 'The Arms', I saw a distant large raptor soaring, a closer look revealed a Goshawk which had attracted the attention of two mobbing Kestrels.

Later in the day I visited another section of Watton Brook Valley close to Fairstead Lane.  Another check of this beautiful valley did not present migrants, but as written before, I am sure some would have been present.
A check of the valley near the windmill produced a couple of skulking Whitethroats, a Blackbird feeding on Blackberry, Greenfinch, and Chaffinch.  A pair of Mute Swans were accompanied by 3 young birds.
Several House Martins and a few Swallows were overhead, however, it looks as if the Swifts have now departed.
