10th October - Sunny intervals, 14C, east wind

An early morning sea watch at Cley this morning at last produced some seabirds. The east wind ideal for getting things moving.

A single Fulmar and Red-throated Diver moved past.  Then the number of auks increased with small flocks passing, a mixture of Razorbill and Guillemot.  Gannets moved mostly eastward, these were nearly all juveniles.  Brent Geese and othe wildfowl were on the move too and it was good to see four drake Eider duck fly westward.  Far out towards the wind farm (20 Km offshore) many other unidentifable birds flew past at speed.

Paid a visit to Felbrigg Hall, a great place to see with much of the interior untouched.  The grounds are extensive, over a thousand acres of wood, pasture and lake to explore.  A place that is well worth returning to for exploring.
