Norfolk has really got its act together. They have 54 sites in the county and tomorrow we will go past four of them as we drive via Fakenham towards Kings Lynn.This is a fantastic area not only for birding but for wildlife in the general sense. Its beautiful, interesting and the facilities are in place. if you don't believe me have a look on their website www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk to see for yourself. Why not follow their example of protecting Norfolk's wildlife for the future and pay them a visit.
Today we spent time in two different hides in the company of other birders who were friendly and helpful. Without them we would not have identified two Curlew Sandpipers away in the distance.We saw at close range Spotted Sandpipers in both summer and winter plumage. Our list for the day almost got to fifty and what do we know. We must have missed loads! The one and only Barnacle Goose was still evident and on the way out a Whitethroat popped up. Apparently there was a Common Gull close by but it would have probably have been my first good view of one.
That's it for now. Heading inland tomorrow for heath and ancient woodland.
