A weekend in Norfolk


Spent a weekend in Norfolk at the beginning of September.

The weather wasn't particularly promising for migrants, but sometimes birds don't follow the rules, so I was reasonably hopeful of good birding.

I also walked to Blakeney point, something I have long threatened to do.

Birdwise, it was quite tame with Spoonbills continuing their expansion in Norfolk, and a Great White Egret also seen, plus Wood Sandpipers.
A Hobby snatching a Swallow out of the sky was impressive, and the typical common species were seen on a seawatch from Cley. (Great and Arctic Skua, Kittiwake, Fulmar etc.)

Bedstraw Hawkmoth was a nice surprise on Blakeney point, and a Chinese Water Deer at Titchwell, also showed well.
