Gore Point, Holme, Norfolk, 15/04/2009

Weather: same as before. From 10:45am.

Nice view of a Stoat as it scampered along the approach road looking for a gap amongst the vegetation to disappear into which it duly did.

As usual on the golf course, good numbers of Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Linnet & Swallow.
On the shore Oystercatcher, Redshank, Black-Tailed Godwit (1), Ringed Plover (quite a few), Grey Plover (~3), Turnstone (up to a dozen). A Fulmar also sailed picturesquely over the waves.

I could also hear a loud hubbub of Sandwich Terns but it took me a while to pick them out against the slate-grey sky but once I had I was impressed with their numbers; they were in big flocks of 50+. Also a Cormorant on the water & a few Common Gull amongst the terns.

Finally Goldfinch on returning to the car.

15 species.
