A recent 3 day trip to North Norfolk produced 90 species and 9 year ticks. Sea birds were certainly on the move in some very windy conditions.<\/p>\n

A number of Bonxie and Arctic Skua were on the move along with a few Manx Shearwater and many, many terns. Several Little Tern were still around. A few young Mediterranean Gull passed by Cley Coastguards along with a good selection of waders, a single Red-throated Diver and Guillemot, plenty of Fulmar and Gannet. I found a Spoonbill on Blakeney Fresh Marsh and a few migrant warblers.<\/p>\n

Titchwell produced a few Curlew Sandpiper, 5 Spoonbill, Little Stint, Red Kite, 8 Swift, Marsh Harrier, Great White Egret and 12 other wader species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past few days I’ve spent local birding. At Staunton Harold Reservoir (29th) I had 7 Yellow-legged Gull and a late juvenile Common Tern. A Common Whitethroat and a single Chiffchaff. Little Egrets reduced to one single bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 30th August only 3 adult Yellow-legged Gull, but an increase in Chiffchaff , with at least 10 birds in with the tit flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
