Norfolk
Friary Hills; a walk here before breakfast. The wind wasn't a good direction for passerine migrants. There were plenty of Blackbirds feasting and a good movement of Greenfinch. A single female Blackcap was spotted.
Walsey Hills; the morning highlight here was a Yellow-browed Warbler that was showing quite well despite the cool fresh wind blowing through the sallows, also a juv WIllow Warbler.
Kelling Water Meadow; it always interesting to walk down the lane to the water meadow, even when not much is about, again due to the wind. Another Willow Warbler in the thick hedge, a Kestrel hunting and Red-legged partridge on the harvested potato field. At the pool Curlew, Wigeon and Teal, with Skylark, Meadow Pipits and other finches about.
A 1st winter Stonechat was busy feeding from the brambles.
Cley; sea watching; there was a pretty moderate NW blowing all day that certainly made much movement with many Gannets and Auks heading east. Ducks, Red-throated Divers, Kittiwake, Little Gulls and Skua sp were moving.
