Weather: Grey, cold easterly wind, sun trying to come out.
From 8:30am. A quick drive round Wolferton triangle, no golden pheasant, just a couple of Red-Legged Partridge in a field by the road.
From 8:40am. Up into the woods on the hill (Ken Hill) hoping it would yield some migrants but where I actually wanted to be was at Snettisham Coastal Park; I thought this wood was part of it but found out later that it wasn't!
Anyway it was a decent mixed wood but nothing other than the usual woodland species seen plus plenty of birds on the farm land next to the wood over which the hill gave good views: Jay, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Mistle Thrush, Chiffchaff from the carpark; a lone Marsh Tit also quickly flitted by; Wren, Woodpigeon, Red-Legged Partridge, Black-Headed Gull, Curlew, Greylag Goose, Mallard, Pheasant, Lapwing, Shelduck, Kestrel, Brown Hare, Crow, Starling, all on the fields or wood's edge; Chaffinch, Blackbird, Muntjac; Sparrowhawk cruising over the fields into some trees; Long-Tailed Tit & Dunnock back at the carpark.
24 species.
