A look a several sites in north Norfolk.
Wiveton
08155h 8 Waxwings on the cotoneaster berries behind the pub, then flew off.
A local had found some interesting and unusual fungi on the nearby bank, Crumpled Cup, not too much to look at though. like white-fingers.
Cley
A walk along the East bank to the shore. All the regular birds expected, the wind was quite fresh over the marsh and sea keeping birds low.
Stiffkey Floods
The Glossy Ibis was showing well here.
Two Common Scoter, Shag (one was colour ringed - waiting for details) and a Red-throated Diver in the channel. A Greenshank, along with the other expected waders. Five red Kites were over the salt marsh. Plenty of Brent Geese (but no red-breasted Goose today) and two Shelducks.
Holkham Fresh Marsh
Two each Great White Egret and Cattle Egret, several Little Egrets, c12 White-fronted Geese among Greylags and Pink-footed Geese. Egyptian Geese and the other expected winter ducks.
Siskin and Brambling in the tree tops, a Sparrowhawk, Red Kite and Buzzard.
Late afternoon for the Harrier roost. The Pallid harrier did come in and show for a short while before dropping down Several Marsh harriers came in too.
The next spectacle was to watch the skeins of Pink-footed Geese return from their days feeding in the fields to their roost.
