Flew over to Cley after work hoping to add Pec. Sand and Scaup to my surfbirds county list BUT only managed one out of two!
Left King's Lynn at 6.10pm arriving East Bank carpark at 6.55pm. Most definately a North East wind blowing this evening!!! On the far side of Arnold's Marsh
two drake Scaup were swimming about (just after 7pm) in the evening sunshine on the far right side of the water. Continued walking up to scan sea - freezing cold, no seabirds at all in the 10 minutes I stood there. Walked back to join Eddie M. and another birder (who I always see about and works in Cleyspy but don't know his name) to watch the
scaup again - this time on far left side just beyond a fenced area
7.30pm. Walked back along East Bank with plenty of entertaining banter from Eddie!
Left here for a very quick moonlit walk around Walsey - 1 robin. Crazy really as everything had gone to roost but you never know!
Best Wishes Penny:girl:
P.S. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SURFBIRDS ADMIN TEAM AS I HAVE EMAILED THEM TWICE NOW TO INFORM THEM THAT I CANNOT UPDATE MY COUNTY YEAR LIST AND NO ONE HAD REPLIED - 2ND EMAIL SENT TODAY?
So to remind myself - will update on here
NORFOLK 234 - 9/9 - Scaup
