Norfolk Weekend - 15th - 17th January

Sarah, Tobias and I spent the weekend in Norfolk. It was fairly slow going bird wise but we enjoyed walks at Titchwell, Cley and Holkham and stopped at Welney WWT on the return journey. Highlights were a 1st year Iceland Gull at Cley, a single Snow Bunting at Holkham (we couldn't locate the main flock of 80 birds) plus of course the large numbers of Pink-footed Goose that provide the soundscape for many walks. At Welney we saw eight Tundra Bean Goose, several hundred Whooper Swan and two Cattle Egret.
