An early begin, with Brian driving in his model new automobile! We arrived at Cley earlier than eight and walked to Bishop’s Cover, the place the one uncommon hen was a Nice White Egret, shut sufficient for pictures regardless of the warmth haze! A solitary Beardrd Tit was to the best of the disguise: whereas we had been watching it a flock of 24+ Cattle Egrets descended onto the island with the GWE! They mooched round for an hour, often being flushed by a Marsh Harrier: at one level one other large flock of thirty or extra appeared over the West Financial institution, circled round however headed again in direction of Blakeney. I picked up a distant juvenile Little Gull, which gave cheap views because it flew eastwards: later, throughout our stroll out alongside the East Financial institution, we noticed it, or one other, on the Serpentine. On the again, on Pope’s, a small group of Spoonbills lounged within the sunshine…
It was good to see the drifts of chicory on the financial institution – and to talk with the pleasant Sue & Steve Gantlett.
Final cease was Kelling Water Meadows, which had been devoid of any curiosity other than a solitary Little Egret.
