The Summer season Wine Crew left the Yare Valley early and arrived at Cley by 7.45, discovering seats in Bishop’s Conceal in time to get pleasure from shut views of a Inexperienced Sandpiper. Distant Cattle Egrets and Spoonbills lured us over to the Centre Hides, the place we discovered Jacquie B, David & John already watching a big flock of Bar-tailed Godwits. These have been quickly joined by the same variety of Sand Martins that swooped round earlier than dropping into the reeds. Jacquie referred to as out a Yellow Wagtail on a close-by island: most welcome! Earlier than we left we added a Nice White Egret, Mediterranean Gull, twelve or so Cattle Egrets and 5 Spoonbills. After espresso we selected a stroll alongside the East Financial institution: glancing again in the direction of the North Foreland woods I observed a gaggle of Little Egrets, amongst which was a Night time Heron! Though distant, the brand new Canon arrange allowed respectable images, which we used to zero different birders onto this wonderful addition to the yr checklist. Lastly, on the best way again to the guests centre, we heard and had cheap views of the long-staying Marsh Warbler at a variety of a few metre!
Final cease was Holt Nation Park, the place we managed to seek out and {photograph} fifteen or extra Silver-washed Fritillaries.
