Other birds of note were a Purple Sandpiper and an Adult Shag.
On the patch 3 Snow Bunting on the beach.
Short time on patch yesterday with just a load of Goldcrest to show for it.
Today was great Started on patch and caught the tail end of what i was pretty sure was a Swift, didn't want to make a fool of myself however by reporting a probably Swift. More Frustrating was a Pallid Swift turning up at Minsmere and the 2 together at Thorpness, so almost certainly a Pallid Swift.
My second circuit of the patch had a Fly over Lapland Bunting and more Goldcrests. On the sea i waited for a flock of 500+ Common Scoter to fly so i could pick out the 1 Velvet Scoter.
Rach picked me up and we headed for Norfolk, stopping at Repps where 18 Crane were visible from the B1125.
Onto Horsey where a flock of 400 Pinkfooted Geese were feeding and i managed to find 2 Tundra Bean geese with them Bonus!
Carried onto Cromer but firstly passing Mundlsey a cracking Rough Legged Buzzard rapidly flew through. Shortly after i found it had gone through Sidestrand too.
Finished at Kelling heath but didn't add any new decent birds to the day list. Brought a little bit of faith back to birding
