12th October Monday - very mild, southerly, brisk at times, the clouding over pm.

Wells Outer Harbour, dawn

The tide was full in, again little space for waders.  Quiet a few Brent Geese on the water and far marshes.

It was very notable the number of Pink-footed Geese that flew over from the east, many more than I've seen other mornings.  I wonder whether many of these were actually new arrivals.

Cley-  Sea watching; morning.
Movement was very slow with a southerly wind, mostly birds just moving around.
A good number of razorbills on the sea, only spotted one Guillemot though.
Three + Red-throated Divers close-in.  Three Common Scoters passed east.

Titchwell Marsh; afternoon.
Although plenty of birds present, they were those expected, and with the wind now quite brisk most were resting and not doing much.  Only a few Avocets, a single Dunlin, other waders included Ruff, Black- and Bar-tailed Godwits, Snipe, a single Golden Plover, Curlew, Redshank and Lapwing.  
Duck numbers seemed low, only a couple of Pintail, a few Shelduck.
