there has been a pair of honeys drifting around Stiffkey all summer, presumed to be nesting behind the fen. Can regularly be seen drifting over the wood on the hill in the middle of the village opposite the pub. Red Kite hasn't visited since last Friday though which is a shame but i've managed regular Hobbies along the River in the evenings
7 Cranes flying in against a red and orange sky at Horsey tonight.
Only seven, tut tut Tim, such poetry for so few in number

Coming back to Norfolk again in a few weeks but trying to fit in some of the less known sites, could anyone give me directions to the hide at Burnham Norton (or tell me there isn't one but I'm sure people have mentioned it). Is it the best place to view or just from the public footpath/seawall.
Also at Holme I've read in my book that you need a key for the hides which you can collect from the bird obs, 1) Where is the bird obs, 2) What areas are best and 3) What time are the hides opened.
Thought Redwell Marsh might be good for an evening visit because it's supposed to be very good for Barn Owls.

Hi,
Anyone visiting the North Norfolk coast may find this useful. Not a heavy duty bird watch trip, just tended to note what I saw without too much stopping to search for unusual sp. No scope so not much sea watching done.

Sea Palling this morning 7:45 - 9.15
3 Arctic Skuas
2 Ruff (village tick!)
and the usual terns, Gannets and Kittiwakes etc
edit: 802 Common Terns reported past Eccles ths morning - an exceptional number without northerly winds and almost unprecedented with northerly winds. Coupled with last night's Little Gull movement, all rather unusual. Can't find reference to anything similar at this time of year.
