That’s what my gradually booting up brain told me we were on about, at this hour. Ship-borne migrants would, presumably, be more likely to turn up in Suffolk, nearer to the international port at Felixstowe. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I would have thought that more ships from the US etc. would dock there, rather than somewhere (do they anywhere?) in Norfolk.
And re #13029: from your description (dwatsonbirder), I’m sure you were meaning to say ‘Cromer’ Lighthouse. This kind of slip is very easy to make and is hardly worthy of eternal damnation.
I would have said this is quite a good shout and long overdue, although no nearctic passerines have been reported on the Azores, to yesterday.
As regards AlbatrossWatch last night, it was more than frustrating getting updates over my mobile, as the still (publicly) unID’d Diomedeid sp stubbornly refused to plane west of Cromer Pier. It had, apparently, been seen to within 200m, by the original observer. I lay all the blame on GANNETS and hereby and vehemently excoriate them: it seemed to veer back towards Overstrand, when a few of these continued their easterly voyage around the coast. Agh! yet again.
I do not usually predict the weather, as the official channels so often get it wrong for this part of the world, but it IS looking for Friday onwards.
