Guaranteed to boost the year list, is an early new year trip to the north Norfolk coast. Bristling with waders, ducks and geese and one or two special wintering birds. It’s difficult to pull in all the sites on a day trip but we managed, Titchwell, Holkham, Cley, Stiffkey, Wells and Hunstanton.
During the day we managed 79 species including the following highlights – Spotted Redshank, c3000 Common Scoter, Red-throated Diver, Great Northern Diver, Red-breasted Merganser, Water Pipit, Snow Bunting, Chiffchaff, Eider Duck, Great White Egret, Red Kite, a 1st winter Waxwing at Cley, Merlin, Cattle Egret and Fulmar at Hunstanton Cliffs.
