Away days in Norfolk

Had a lovely, sun-filled 5 days (18/04 - 22/04) in north Norfolk on a family holiday last week. Lots of family stuff going on, but a few snatches of birding here and there. Being north Norfolk too, you're never too far from decent birds.

Birding highlight of the week goes to the adult Red-Breasted Goose (a lifer for me) clinging on with what were still good numbers of Dark-Bellied Brents off Blakeney Quay. An amazingly stunning bird that fingers crossed, buggers off soon, to add to it's credibility!



Other highlights included a male Ring Ouzel, Whimbrel, Firecrest, Gropper, Bearded Tit, Spoonbill, Cattle Egret, Barnacle Goose, Whooper Swan, as well as first for the year Reed Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat.
