13th May Norfolk - cloudy, steady fresh wind, now northerly and cool, 12C max

A very early morning visit to Choseley barns (0530h), this time success in finding two Corn Bunting feeding on the ground and a further one singing from the telegraph line.  Also, four Stock Doves and a Collared Dove were present too.  No Dotterel were in the usual field, a Marsh Harrier was quartering the field, so this may have made them move to another field until it has finished hunting there.

Next a pre-breakfast walk at Titchwell reserve, no-one about still.  Very similar birds as yesterday, however the Temminck's Stint was right in front of the Parinder hide, the close views were great with all the fine plumage and subtle colours visisble.  Also present was a Greenshank that looked very smart, and two Bar-tailed Godwit along with a couple of Common Sandpipers.
