Weather: windier. From 11:40am.
There seemed no better time than mid-Spring migration to visit Holme Dunes, I also figured that I could walk partway to Thornham harbour & it was closer to the dunes than I realised. However it was a disappointing outing as there was next to nothing about, apart from the following more usual species: Moorhen, Pheasant, Black-Headed Gull, Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Shoveler, Canada Goose, Dunnock, Magpie, Greenfinch, Swallow, Curlew, Shelduck, Chiffchaff, Mallard, Coot, Little Egret, Crow, Avocet, Pochard, Skylark, Linnet.
On the fields at Thornham harbour: Pied Wagtail (1), Redshank (1), Golden Plover (2) apparently still present with dark bellies, I say apparently because after initially picking them up I moved further along the bank & couldn't pick them up again. There were also a decent group of Brent Goose on the salt marshes.
26 species
Choseley Barns.
Weather: brighter, windier. From 1:30pm.
Up to the Choseley barns as a ring ouzel had been reported the day before & there were plenty of other birders looking for it, however none of us saw it despite quite a thorough search. However Yellowhammer, Marsh Harrier, Red-Legged Partridge, Skylark, Dunnock & Chaffinch were seen. I was also informed of the correct location of Snettisham Coastal Park by one of the ouzel-searchers so I resolved to return to Snettisham!
6 species.
