An early begin (as normal!) noticed Norman, Brian and me on the seashore at Holkham earlier than 8.00am: solely two different individuals in sight – each birders. This nice, pleasant couple pointed us in the direction of the Shorelarks and shortly we had been all having fun with good views of those annual guests. (It was at this level that I found my digital camera wasn’t going to play ball!)
After the Larks moved on we walked alongside the seaward facet of the dunes, the place Norman shortly situated a flock of 5 Snow Buntings: tagging alongside was a single Lapland Bunting! Sorry in regards to the decidely ‘file shot’ photos: hopefully the opposite two will let me use just a few of theirs later!
A transfer to Cley for espresso was adopted by a stroll out to Bishop’s Conceal, the place we ‘loved’ distant views of the Dowitcher and a Pale-bellied Brent: after I sorted the digital camera out, I photographed my second favorite duck species: a drake Pintail.
A cease at Marsham Church on the way in which house failed to provide the Black Redstart, however a Buzzard and Marsh Harrier had been attention-grabbing.
