North Norfolk Coast ~ 13 December

A morning spent twitching various things along the North Norfolk coast beginning with the juv. Iceland Gull at King's Lynn Docks. This rather brutish individual showed well along the embankment in terrible light, coming into feed on Tesco's finest bread!

Moving on to Thornham Harbour, a number of Twite were feeding by the car park and the usual assortment of waders were on the mudflats and saltmarsh. A very showy Red-necked Grebe showed in Brancaster Harbour

A small flock of White-fronted Geese were seen in their usual field at Holkham and a Cattle Egret was successfully twitched over at Hickling

UEA ~ 30 October

A nice find by Michael today in the form of this 1st/w Meditteranean Gull in Earlham Park. My first one on campus and by all accounts rather rare to get on the deck
