Wicken Fen

With Ellie and the girls to Wicken, where Bug saw a hairy spider and Ann photographed it.  The male cuckoo was quite vocal and constantly changing his perch within a small area.  Six hobbies in the air, quite high most of the time.

Lakenheath Fen

Our first trip to Lakenheath this year and we saw twenty-five Hobbies doing their stuff in the skies, a Common Tern diving to catch fish and the two Cranes skulking in the reeds.  A couple of Marsh Harriers, a Buzzard or two, Sedge Warblers, and an Egret landing beside a Heron.

Exhibition

The Mayor of Cambridge and Sarah Hall, CCC president, at the opening of the club exhibition at St Andrews Church in Cambridge this evening.

Meredith is Three Today

The little blonde bombshell is finally out of the Terrible Twos.  Sadie helped her to open her prezzies - the Lego Duplo Zoo was the favourite, and she liked the vet uniform.  There was a party at the People's Hall; at first she was a little shy and held Granny Sue's hand.   Mum had made a cake with Dalmatian candles and after the food, Sadie started a balloon fight.  Bug and Cara loved the soft toys.
