FLATTOP 4,248 Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Apparently you have got a good chance of seeing and hearing them at Dersingham Bog which is near Wolferton West Norfolk. interesting fact Wolferton used to have a train station years ago which used to be the Royals station where they disembarked for Sandringham, it is now a private residence which opens occasionally to the public. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,854 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 I was looking at the first photo for about a minute thinking it's no good, I'm going to have to cheat and look at the other photos below to see where the bird is,and then I saw it was eggs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sent a close-up and pointed out the scattering of hairs. When he said I must have good eyesight to have spotted it in the middle of the wood, I had to admit that less than a minute before I took the photo there was a roe laying down in it.
