A Great Spotted Cuckoo<\/strong> was lingering at Weybourne in North Norfolk for nearly a week or so and as I hadn’t seen one for a number of years, I decided to make the journey over to see it.<\/p>\n

I didn’t realise how distant it would be and so somewhat disappointed with the 2 or three brief views I had of it, perched and in flight. Two Temminck’s Stint<\/strong> were on the scrape at Cley, so we stopped off to see them. They showed well in front of the famous Dawkes Hide. A few Ruff were also on view but little else of note.<\/p>\n

Six Dotterel<\/strong> were also lingering at Choseley near Titchwell and they showed well albeit in some moderate heat haze. Fortunately closer than we thought. Four bright females and two males. A Corn Bunting<\/strong> was also singing and on view.<\/p>\n

Finishing off the day at Titchwell, primarily to see the 100 pairs of Mediterranean Gulls now breeding on the freshwater mere. Also a few Little Tern<\/strong> and two Spoonbill<\/strong> were year ticks. Nothing else of real note worthiness here. A very difficult day for photography due to the severe heat haze and most decent birds were distant. Year List moves on to 201.<\/p>\n

A total of 70 species seen during the day.<\/p>\n
