After shut views of three Kingfishers from Bishop’s Cover and our traditional scone and occasional cease, we took a fast take a look at Salthouse earlier than heading west to Holkham. Right here we added not less than ten extra Cattle Egrets and two Nice White Egrets to the day’s tally, in addition to a attainable continental Coal Tit: it definitely lacked the standard olive-green mantle and had a small crest.
