May 14th, in glorious weather I went to Knepp the stars undoubtedly were the Storks despite what hard core birders think I am for the conservation and introduction.

Other birds added to my year list were Turtle Dove and Garden Warbler.
May 21st I headed back to Thetford Forest for a couple of days mainly to twitch the Great Reed Warbler which I have only seen when in eastern europe.

A visit to Weeting Heath there was a couple of Stone Curlews, and in the evening at the back of the campsite at least 6 Nightjars were churring and showing well and a couple of roding Woodcocks.
On the 22nd a Caspian Tern was found at Hickling Broad, a reserve I haven't been to before. I managed a distant view just before it took off and was not seen again till the next day.
