Norfolk shines


Cracking weekend in Norfolk with most of the usual crowd. 114 species including two on the journey there and back so 112 Norfolk birds. Brought the year list to some respectability at 126.

With fantastic sunny weather for most of the stay we were able to get some superb views of various birds. the picture was captured on my mobile phone of Brent Geese at Titchwell. Birds of the weekend were the White Crowned Sparrow, Rough Legged Buzzard at Burnham Norton which was obligingly walking distance from where we were staying. Couple of Merlins, some good flocks of Snow Buntings. Wonderful views of Barn Owls almost everywhere we went. Nice to catch up with Brambling in a couple of places and Lesser Redpoll at Titchwell as well as close range Woodcock.
