Monday July 28 2008

The last day of the break saw us make a second visit to Titchwell. Sea mist made things very difficult at first, but the atmospheric views of Spotted Redshank, Avocet and a distant view of a Pec Sand made up for it. As we got to the beach the visibility improved, with good views of obliging waders (Ringed Plovers, Turnstones, Sanderlings). We then went on to Snettisham, where fortunately enough it was high tide. This gave us brilliant views of wheeling flocks of tens of thousands of Knot, Godwits, Dunlin, etc. - nothing like it! We also saw another Marsh Harrier, showing the increasingly good population of this species in Norfolk.
