10th Jan - cloudy, light-mod NW, 4C

Holkham, Norfolk; explored the area around Holkham gap and water meadows.  On the saltmarsh 20+ Shore Larks were feeding, quite difficult to see as they kept to the vegetated area, but good views were had once located. Further along near the sand dunes 23 Snow Buntings were very active feeding and kept moving.  Several Brent Geese were also on the salt marsh.

A quick look off shore produced Common Scoter, Red-throated Diver, a Razorbill flying past and Red-breasted Merganser. Curlew, Sanderling and Redshanks were present too.
A Red Kite, 2+ Buzzards and 2 Kestrel were over the water meadows. About 1230h many hundred Pink-feet Geese flew from inland and landed on the meadows, there calls and skiens filling the sky.

At the west end of the meadows c150 White-fronted Geese were feeding. A Grey Heron and Great White Egret were present in the reeds.  Plenty of Shelduck, Wigeon and Teal, plus a single Egyptian Goose.  Curlew were also feeding on the meadows.

Wells Harbour; at the end of the day a look in Wells Harbour for the Glaucous Gull which has been present a few days, no joy though.  A good spot was a Greenshank feeding in the channel, plus Turnstone, a Ring Plover and 4 Black-tailed Godwit.
