North Point pools were a little quiet, just the usual regulars, with a Snipe showing well, plus Black-tailed Godwits, Curlew, and Avocet, a Male Marsh Harrier. A Chiffchaff was in the driveway hedgerow.
At the Stiffkey floods seven Lesser White-fronted Geese were showing well. Five adults and two first winters from the Swedish re-introduction program. Another nice selection of birds was present on the flooded meadows.
Holkham gap held seven Shore Larks in the roped off area. Distantly, off-shore a good sized Common Scoter flock, with Great-crested Grebes and a unidentified Diver flew by. A couple of Sanderling were along the shore line.
Holkham meadows from Lady Anne's Drive, a good number of Pink-footed Geese and one Barnacle with them. Four Red Kites over head.
Thornham Harbour at the end of the day was interesting with a male Hen Harrier showing well, plus Short-eared and Barn Owls, and a Merlin over the marsh.
