Does anyone know whereabouts exactly the Glaucous Gull is being seen at Cley please?
Thanks
Sim
The AGP was re-id'ed as a Grey Plover!
and no, it wasn't!!
Picture of the Waxham Plover can be found here:

Also, there is a dismantled railway line shown running to the west and north of north wootton - does anyone know if it can walked, and if so and anyone has, do they remember any butterflies? We have nothing from the three tetrads it runs through, nor the saltmarsh to the west.
With an amount of scepticism, I drove to Cromer. I’m ashamed to say I couldn’t recall any trees in the main street- although there was Morrison’s car park, as a fall-back.
When I arrived and, most fortunately, was able to park opposite, I was even more dubious, as the rowan in question was almost completely denuded and on a much-frequented thoroughfare. As can be seen from the photos, however, there were berries and the Waxwings were coming down to them. I don’t think there’ll be any left by the end of today, though !

The light and rain weren't ideal for photography, but here's my best efforts plus a record shot of all 24.

I think you are being a bit over-modest. They look great to me.
Thanks. I guess I'm just a perfectionist on the quiet!
However considering I just digiscope without any adapters I should be more happy than I am with my shots.

In that case I'm even more impressed. What shutter speed? I can't imagine the bird posed for long with the berry in it's beak in the 2nd shot.
Grey plover from these photos
Golden Plover for me on structure. A greyish one though.
Cheers
Yes - from a quick look at the photo looks like a 'grey' Golden Plover to me too!
I now think the bird is a greyish golden plover too not a grey plover.
The finder deserves respect for putting this record out. Photo not ideal but it is a wonder any worthwhile pictures could be taken at all.
Bird not unlike an AGP I saw in Cambridgeshire. An interesting bird!
