Blakeney - House on the Hill - had another look here for my RB Shrike - but no sign and no birds here this time at all either, only a great tit and a wood pigeon.
Cley, North Hide, North Scrape 'probable' Semi-palmated Sandpiper at 7.40pm in the very far distance amongst loads of dunlins, lapwings, cormorants etc, also 1 Wood Sandpiper. Hide full of birders with several familiar faces with lots of banter from Eddie M!!! I am certainly no expert and if I had seen it on my own at that distance - I would have just thought it a little stint - so will leave the ID of this bird to the experts!
Thank you to David N. (nice to see you out again) who very kindly gave me a call:t: and also to MG and Connor:t:
Walking back along the fence line I was almost at the pill box - Eddie M.and Richard had been walking not too far behind when
suddenly Eddie shouted 'dolphins' at me!!!!!!!!!! (around 7.55pm) - I swung round and rushed to get higher up the shingle ridge - HOW FRUSTRATING. Eddie had
seen 2 dolphins breaching, Richard had not seen them either. We scanned for any more signs, but alas nothing. I would have rather have seen dolphins off Cley beach than a little LBJ in far distance amongst dunlins
Watched the sun setting against the sea, by the duck pond at Salthouse and drove home.
