Well done Robert. I got the bird yesterday, but just after it was found, so it was sitting half obscured behind a tuft of tall grass at Salthouse! It must have roosted there...I also got the Kentish Plover pretty well and 2 Temminck's Stints. Walked Blakeney Point for a few Wheatears, a Whinchat, 3 Whitethroats, a Reed Warbler, 2 Willow Warblers and a Chiffchaff! Also missed the Citrine Wagtail whilst I was on the point! Then failed with Wood Warbler at Weybourne and Hoopoe at Great Ryburgh!
Still managed a lifer though, so very happy!
What else did you get today? Im guessing the place was absolutely packed!

Cheer Mr sim

Salthouse was packed 100 odd people I fink. Cley was busy for about 20 minutes then most people went for the Hoopoe.

The afternoon was very very quite.

There seemed to be a lot of common sands around 2day. Did anyone else notice or was it just me?

0h and two LRP's from North hide.

When I got to the Pratincole about 10 mins after it was found, people were already flooding in! By the time I left, I'd say at least 150 people were there! Again, a case of more observer coverage meaning more birds are found. Cley had the Citrine Wagtail and Kentish Plover, so loads of people went to have a look, and consequently a Collared Pratincole was found!

WOW a girl!

 

[mr.sim]

Thats the thing with not putting your real name as your display name - people don't know what gender you are! I had no idea you were a girl! But yes, I think you are the only one...doesn't really make any difference though.

 

[Littleegret]

errrrrrrrr right my profile says im female( bright red face)

 

[jimmyg]

Don't be embarrassed, its really cool! You're like the equivalent of a Northern Parula...

 

[mr.sim]

I never look at anyone's profiles so I never know...doesn't matter as I said, and as James said, don't be embarrassed...
Mmmmmm...Northern Parula B :eat:

 

[Littleegret]

Do you eat those warblers or something?!

 

[joshjenkinsshaw]

Nah, just drink 'emB
