My flip to drive! We rendezvous-ed at my home earlier than heading north by the use of Wroxham. First cease was Bishop’s disguise, Cley, the place the primary of two Curlew Sandpipers – each in sensible plumage – fed amongst a big group of Ruff and Dunlin. Different birds dropped in: Nice Egret, Spoonbill, Bearded Tit, Widespread and Inexperienced Sandpipers, Yellow-legged Gull and 4 juvenile Yellow Wagtails. Better of all, although, was a younger Water Rail skulking amongst the reeds to the left of the disguise. After an pleasurable chat with a pleasant couple from Yorkshire, we headed to reception for tea and truffles.
Having moved the automotive to the East Financial institution carpark, we strolled out to the ocean, selecting up two distant Shiny Ibises on the best way. No signal of the Jack Snipe, however one other 12 months tick was out there between the North Display and the brand new disguise: after a little bit of looking (and with affirmation from Julian!) I discovered a female-type Whinchat – not at all times assured as of late.
On the best way again to the automotive, I used to be delighted to discover a mint-fresh Clouded Yellow flitting forwards and backwards throughout East Financial institution: most welcome. Ice lotions after which house!
