Bright and cold.
Majority of birds seen at Titchwell reserve although during journey Pheasant, Mistle Thrush, Woodpigeon, Black-Headed Gull and Common Gull seen.
Seen at Titchwell car-park: Robin, Great Tit, Dunnock.
Surprisingly few numbers of birds at marshes and in lagoons, included Reed Bunting, Oystercatcher, Teal, Shelduck, Brent Goose (in quite large numbers), Mallard, Coot. Some interesting birds were spotted on marshes and after observation revealed Grey Plover, Redshank and Shoveler. Also after repeated observations of the reed-beds Marsh Harrier was seen.
Other birds on lagoons included Canada Goose, Greylag Goose, Cormoratn, Lesser Black-Backed Gull, Ringed Plover, Meadow Pipit, Gadwall. Other small waders were seen also other larger waders. After reference the small dark billed and drak legged, neatly plumaged birds were most likely to have been winter-plumaged Little Stints, a new bird species for me.
Continuing along coastal roadpast the marshes at Cley produced Herring Gull, Grey Partridge, Moorhen, Egyptian Goose. Also seen were large numbers of Brent Geese in a field inland, they appeared to be feeding, resting, etc.
Finally arriving at Weybourne produced a large number of gulls flying towards Titchwell. Also a small group of Turnstone fed on the pebble beach and a Pied Wagtail was seen in the car-park.
34 species seen including 1 new species.
