With nonetheless a lot of the great things being within the western counties, one of the best guess appeared like Cley, beginning on the Coastguards. Nearly the primary fowl we noticed was a Wheatear, adopted rapidly by a second, Little else other than Stonechats and Mipits, so we parked on the Reserve Centre and walked out to Bishop’s. Numerous Black-tailed Godwits and Avocets, in addition to two pairs of Little Ringed Plovers and some Ruff. Marsh Harriers had been in all places, one in every of which put up a pair of Bitterns (which we missed!) Whereas we had been consuming our espresso 4 Spoonbills flew in and landed on Pat’s: regardless of a fast reorientation to the centre hides, they’d gone after we arrived! Good to stumble upon demon ticker Tina and her friends!
We determined to maneuver on to Kelling, parking by the cafe and following the brook all the way down to the Pool. A number of Chiffchaffs and a Blackcap had been calling, and a passage of Hirundines was going down, with Swallows and Sand Martins passing by constantly. A stroll to the ack-ack weapons failed to supply the hoped-for Ouzel, however Linnets and Stonechats had been confiding for as soon as!
After a cup of tea we returned to Cley, the place we lastly glimpsed two of the Spoonbills prospecting for nest websites on the Hangs. And so house!
