Today I went to a vintage sale before making my way to the Norfolk coast to stay at Old Hunstanton. A brief look out to sea when I arrived and along the shore late afternoon produced the following, several small flocksof Brent Geese moving off shore, Sanderling, Turnstone, Bar-tailed Godwit and Oystercatchers on the shore. A single Little Egret hunted the shore line. Four unidentified Auks flew past distantly, as did a Great-crested Grebe and another fished just off shore.
It is always fascinating to see migration in progress and a number of birds were flying in off the sea (from Scandinavia likely), most not identifiable due to distance, sometimes some flew directly over head and quickly finding somewhere to rest, which included Redwings and Fieldfares.
