Had a long day in Norfolk on Sunday.. Unfortunately, the weather changed to a fairly strong westerly wind just before we went and so the rarities which had been building up nicely on the coast for much of the week didn't materialise.
An enjoyable day none the less, and I saw 89 species.. the most I've ever seen in a day! (Day listing not one of my strong points!)
Highlights were Curlew Sandpiper at Titchwell, and Whinchat plus Arctic Skua at Holme.
Gave up on Norfolk by early afternoon, by which time we were struggling to see any birds! A stop off at Little Paxton on the return to Milton Keynes was enjoyable with Spotted Flycatchers, Grey Wagtail, Lesser Whitethroat and a Nightingale. |
