Went to RSPB Snettisham today - arrived 12pm - too late really but never mind, better late than never as they say! Never seen so many birders at Snettisham, I thought I was at Titchwell for a minute!
Beautiful sunny day. Had lovely views of a small group of Golden Eye, thousands of Golden Plover, usual waders, saw the Little Auk, 'ducking and diving'!!!! in the southern most pit, I actually watched it distantly from Sanctuary Hide, although most people seemed crammed in the hide thats shore side (can't remember what its called). Usual Little Egrets gleaming white in the sunshine, I will never tire of watching these. Saw a couple of kingfishers flashing across the water, few greenfinches, lots of greylags that were put up by a helicopter whirring overhead. I dipped on the snowbuntings, apparently they were 4 amongst the shore larks. Bird of the day was definately 2 shore larks on the beach, which were being photographed by several people including myself - they just looked stunning in the afternoon sunshine! Several blackbirds feeding on berries, but didn't see any thrushes/fieldfares. Arrived at Holme very, very late in the day and saw a green woodpecker bounding across the road. Popped into parents to hear that my mother had 28 Snow Buntings on the beach at Holme today! :girl:
