East Anglia
Another day trip to Norfolk and Suffolk - this time with Alan and Shaun. Dry but overcast conditions before the unsettled weekend weather meant this was our best bet for birding. The strong winds in places was a problem but overall things were fine.
- After concluding our main business, we headed for Titchwell around lunchtime to see the attractive Pectoral Sandpiper. It was showing really well at less than 50 metres from the main path by the Freshwater Marsh.
- It was surrounded by several Ruff in rather scruffy plumage as you might expect at this time of year.
- Other highlights included several Mediterranean Gulls and 3 Spoonbills.
- On the way home, we stopped off at Foxhole Heath, by the entrance to Rakeheath Farm, on the B112 to Icklingham, where Shaun spotted 2 Stone Curlews. The views were the best I have ever seen. They were only 50 metres away and looking splendid in the afternoon sunshine.
Another fabulous day trip to Norfolk and Suffolk!
