22nd Sept - cloudy, moderate SW, 13C

Old Hunstanton; a pre-breakfast sea watch produced Gannet and Common Scoter moving.  A party of 5 Great Skua moved west against the wind.  Five Spoonbills flew over westward to the ‘Wash’, as did a couple of Red-breasted Merganser.  A selection of usual waders were feeding a,OMG the waters edge.

Burnham Overy;  a Red Kite flew low over the road near the village.

Burnham Staithe;
A Great Black-Backed Gull caught a ‘flat’ fish in the shallows and began to kill and eat it.

Titchwell; late morning I had a look here, I particularly spent most time around the trees and bushes hoping for migrants, especially scare Warblers.  The wind was still blowing steadily which was clearly keeping birds in cover and quiet.  So, I only managed to find Blackcap and Chiffchaff.  The marsh areas were also quiet, good number of Ruff but not too much else out of the ordinary.
Overhead Skeins of Pink-footed Geese were flying in after feeding on the farmland last night.
