22 Oct - mostly sunny, mod SW, 13C

Norfolk -
Titchwell - I spent some of the morning looking around here, many of the expected species were present. A reasonable flock of Bearded Tits near the path, A Rock pipit flew on to brick work at the corner of the volunteer marsh and a  bathing Water Pipit with Meadow Pipits was close to the Parrinder Hide.  Plenty of Starlings flying around in groups.

A skein of Pink-footed Geese flew over and good number of Brent Geese were on the marshes and flying around.

Waders included Bar-tailed and Black-tailed Godwits, Grey and Golden Plover, Sanderling, Dunlin, Redshank, Avocet, Lapwing, Oystercatcher and Turnstone.  On the sea very little, a couple of Red-breasted Mergansers were noted.

Thornham Harbour area; the most notable records were a flock of c150 Linnet which contained a leucistic individual with quite a white body, head with a pink flush to the breast. Two Twite were found feeding in the vegetation.  A Peregrine made a attempt to catch prey out on the marsh.
