Also forget to mention 2 Roseate Terns seen off Holme yesterday. Needless too say after I had finished sea-watching...
If anyone finds themselves unavoidably having to pay a visit to a garden for the sake of domestic harmony (if you see what I mean) I would like to recommend Hoveton Hall Gardens near Wroxham Barns.

Balearic shearwater lingering off Titchwell this afternoon also a few arctic and great skuas through and little stint, 27 spotshanks and juv garganey on the fresh marsh.
Large falcon sp ( espcaped falconers bird) at Snettisham over the high tide this morning along with 20,000+ knot. Worth a look if you are not doing anything over the weekend.

Darn have yet to see one in Norfolk. New I should have been sea-watching off Holme today... :C
Thinking about heading to the coast tomorrow. Had all of last week off but the weather was so bad I didn't end up going anywhere. Then OH drove our car into a bollard so its off the road. But tomorrow I might get the train to Sherringham then the coasthopper to somewhere. I'd like to get out and do some bird sketching/painting. Was thinking of Cley but does anyone out there have any better suggestions that are easily accessible from the bus?
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week looking very interesting, with strong northerly winds + rain, starting slightly westerly and then veering easterly.
Are there any scarcities at Cley or Salthouse atm?
Just curious as to where you got this forecast from? - I normally use the met office website and it has a very different forecast to this for early next week.
Used the BBC one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/west_europe/wind.shtml
