September 2014

I had a trip to the UK where I visited Hunstanton Cliffs and saw the resident Northern Fulmar and some passage Northen Gannet.

Wednesday 3rd, Hunstanton Cliffs, Norfolk, UK.

I also visited RSPB Titchwell where I walked the new East Trail for the first time. Among the 53 species I saw the most notable where 1 flyover Eurasian Spoonbill, 4 Curlew Sandpiper, 1 Spotted Redshank and 3 Little Stint. The stint were a site-tick and maybe even a life-tick.

Friday 6th, RSPB Titchwell, Norfolk, UK.

On returning to the US I didn’t make any patch visits but did hear another Eastern Screech Owl at home on the 21st.
