North Norfolk

Yesterday was a day of Chores in the garden so i didn't get any birding done, and during the week on patch was quiet except for a fall/small movement in Goldcrest, a Mistle Thrush small groups of Redwing and Fieldfare.

Today however it was a trip to Titchwell with a couple of friends. Started near Repps and spotted 12 Common Cranes in flight but couldn't actually find them on the deck.


Made it too Titchwell although it was cold and dull but we made the most of any photo opportunity that came along. Avocets, Bar and Black tailed Godwits, Grey Plovers, Ringed Plovers, Teal and a nice Water Pipit.










On the Sea a few Common Scoters, 2 Red Breasted Merganser, Guillemots, Goldeneye and waders such as Sanderling.
Back at the carpark a cracking Woodcock was well hidden and a very good spot for someone.


In and around the carpark a few Bramblings including a flock of around 40 as we left the carpark on the main rd.
Finished the day over at Thornham where the Twite were showing but then never landed.
So took some shots of the local Pied Wagtail.






On the road home firstly a cracking Barn Owl and then finished with a ring tailed Hen Harrier at Wells.
