Its clearly on a good source of food but won't stay around for ever. Take your scope - most of the time its pretty distant.

Me too! Working 5 days a week in Norwich so no chance of looking for it until next weekend.

The way it's hugging the coastline, you'd think it was wearing armbands.

Take your scope. If its where it was last week you will want it.

Other than that, all I can say is you don't see animals by not going for them.

The dunes above the car park (pay and display) at Sea Palling offer a great vantage point, you can see a long way and a wide area, but take your scope!

We were told it was distant from Horsey but the message was vague and actually meant distant from Horsey, not distant from the shore.
Cheers,

The humpbacked whale was viewable distantly, through a telescope, from of the dunes off the end of Sea Palling Beach Road this afternoon.
Drifted south towards Waxham, an alternative viewpoint, with a tell-tale flock of gannets above it.
Two pom skuas south and three eider (two drakes) north.
Many common scoter offshore, with small flocks of starlings regularly coming in off the sea.
Pink-footed geese in fields north of Sea Palling.
