North Norfolk. Rain clearing by mid morning to cloudy, light-mod south, 16C, showers pm

Cley Beach and Marsh

The sea this morning was very quiet with practically no movement to speak of.

A few Common and two Velvet Scoters lingered off shore.


The marsh (afternoon) was also quiet with the expected birds present,   A single Marsh harrier showed well, a Kingfisher dashed along a channel.

The usual common waders were present, but the recent long-billed Dowitcher was not showing.


Wells Outer Harbour; late afternoon.

The tide was well out so plenty of exposed area for the waders to be feeding including, Knot, Ringed Plovers, Grey Plovers, Turnstone, Bar-tailed Godwits, Oystercatchers, Redshank, single Greenshank, Curlews, plus Brent Geese.


A Grey Seal was loathing on the sand at sunset.
