29th October

Half term and a week away in Norfolk. Quiet by Norfolk standards, and the winds stubbornly stayed westerly all week, but even a quiet week in Norfolk has its moments.
Lapland and Snow Bunting…


20 species of wader…




Black Brant…


...Cattle and Great White Egret, Marsh & Hen Harrier, Water Pipit, Yellow-browed Warbler and woken each morning by new arrivals of geese…


You also notice the great birdwatching infrastructure and the impact that has on tourism. Something Welcome to Yorkshire should consider given the brilliant birding in the county.


Coming back to Ainderby today was a bit of an anti-climax but saw the first sizeable arrivals of Redwing, a covey of ten Grey Partridge in the top fields and 128 Curlew by the school.
