21st Oct - cloudy, mod-fresh SW, 14C

 North point Pools, Wells; morning

Conditions not good again.  A flock Pink-footed Geese landed on adjacent stubble field, otherwise just the regulars.

A Kestrel, Buzzard and Red Kite were present.

Titchwell RSPB; morning

Only explored a limited area, but a Yellow-browed Warbler with the Tit flock still in the wooded/car park area.  A couple of Cetti's heard.

Good size flock Golden Plover, four Spoonbill (asleep), two Great White Egrets, plus all the other regulars on the Fresh marsh.

A rather pregnant looking Reeves Muntjac, took no notice of me on the meadow path.



Holme NOA area; 
late morning

The keen wind persisted keeping most birds down and in cover.  This was true for most on the water bodies, with Teal, Gad wall, Shoveler, Mallard mostly roosting.  A few Lapwing and Redshank were around the waters too, including a Greenshank.


On the beach a couple of Bar-tailed Godwits, with some movement of Black-tailed Godwits, Oystercatchers, Turnstone and other waders along the sea.

The 'crests' were diving for cover and keeping out of view as they moved through the pines, two Coal Tits were with the Goldcrests, but I never found the Firecrest.
