Kelling Water Meadow; mid-day and the wind was still blowing, even here was not sheltered. A flock of c40 Linnet was feeding on weeds, but they were the only passerines of note. A large mixed flock of Rook and Jackdaws noisily circled overhead as they were tossed about in the wind.
On the pool Teal, Shelduck, a couple of Eygtian Geese, Gadwall were all sheltering..
Cley; after looking at a few places earlier in the day and having not found too much due to the wind I dcidided a bit more sea-watching mid-afternoon was a good idea, and the brick shelter was handy.
Gannets were moving all the time, but other things seemed not to be. Then a Manx Shearwater was picked up, mid-distance, then a Guillimot got up off the sea. An Arctic Skua, low over the sea, direct flight, aiming for the Sandwich Terns. Next the shout of Osprey, one was heading east close in-shore giving great views as it carried on.
