Minsmere late afternoon

Well to be honest it was only around 3 o'clock but guess that counts as late afternoon at this time of year. After all the wet weather - and yes it has been wet here in the east though nowhere near as bad as farther west - we had a suddenly beautiful afternoon so couldn't resist.

Didn't spend that long there but did get to see my first ever Firecrest along with several Goldcrests and a Blackcap. It is slightly concerning how quickly the birds are stripping the berries. Do they know something we don't??
