I will be down in North Norfolk for three days next week, staying in Cley.

Aside from the reserves any particular current birding places of interest that one should visit.

Thanks

Weybourne and Salthouse have been pretty productive but anywhere is likely to produce a good or two. Enjoy your visit.

I would recommend Kelling Heath to connect with many rare heathland birds (I find the paths alongside the railway most productive) as well as all the obvious 'big' reserves. Enjoy your stay.

Just a thought, are there any particular species you want to see?

Nightjar would be great, plus any of the odd occasional breeders, spoonbill, purple heron etc. Although I appreciate that a public forum is not the place for such discussions, I was wondering if any of the sites had been publicly disclosed.

No secret sites needed (info available online already on the following sites and birds), the part of Kelling Heath directly adjacent to the steam railway line is good for Nightjar (at least 8 churring the other night) and other good heathland species and Spoonbill at Holkham (Great White Egret there too). For viewing the birds at Holkham, I am not exactly sure on the best location though, although I have seen GWE and Spoonbill from the Joe Jordan Hide. Sadly, I don't think there are any Purple Herons in the county at the moment though.

Hope this helps,
Louis

Thanks for the info.

Had a very pleasant few days, didn't manage to hook up with the Purple Heron at Titchwell but met some very nice folk at Kelling that pointed us to great views of Nightjar. 89 species in total.
