2nd August Sunday - Sunny, NE mod, 24C

Norfolk Day

Cley NWT

Initially in the morning a look at the sea, nice to see Sandwich and Little Terns fishing for food, and a  slow movement of Gulls west.

Then a walk along East Bank to the Serpentine water, a nice mixture of the expected waders and other birds. A single Common Snipe was feeding, but not the reported Jack Snipe.

Late afternoon a look at the reserve pools from the main hides, two Curlew Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper and other usual waders were present (Avocets, Little Ringed Plover, Curlew, Godwits, Oystercatchers and Redshank).  Shelducks and 6 Egyptian Geese too.

At least 15 House Sparrows were in the reeds/cattle pen area along the road side path.

Also, what I considered to be a Caspian Gull.

Kelling Water Meadows

Nothing unexpected, a lot of Linnet families was good to see. A Great Spotted Woodpecker in the lane side trees.

North Point Pools; early evening.

Birds included Wood Sandpiper, Two Greenshank, nine Green Sandpipers, 17 Barnacle Geese, Ruff, Godwits, Avocets.
