A bit breezy and really chilly, however Norm, Brian and I nonetheless had a morning out, beginning at Cley and heading inland to Hickling after lunch.
First cease was a seawatch on the Coastguards: highlights being a flock of Scoter joined, at one level, by a Black-throated Diver. Bishops Disguise was pretty unproductive, though it was enjoyable trying by a big flock of Darkish-breasted Brents for something out of the strange (Which there wasn’t!) Earlier than espresso we checked out the fields behind the delicatessen, rapidly finding a Cattle Egret and flock of Curlew.
With nothing a lot on the pager, we headed south (by way of a Peregrine-less Cromer Church!) for a stroll round Hickling. Because it occurred, many of the reserve was closed due to flooding (not that we noticed any!) however a stroll again by the woods lastly gave me final 12 months’s bogey hen: a gorgeous Goldcrest!
