Good day spent at Gibraltar Point NR. Saw a couple of Spoonbills flying over, and numerous Waders, including Greenshanks and Spotted Redshanks. 2 lovely Grey Wagtails on the river and a juv Wheatear.
Just had a skein of Pink Feet fly over the caravan en route to their roosting area.

Another good afternoon bird watching, this time at Frampton Marsh.
Saw a new bird for us, an American Golden Plover plus another rarity that we come across occasionally, a Pectoral Sandpiper. Plenty of other birds around to keep us happy plus the benefit of a good walk.

You can walk around the outside of the reserve with Flyte and still get good views of the scrapes and marshes especially from the dykes and both Freiston and Gibraltar Point are the same. As long as you keep to the FPs you'll get good walking and birdwatching in.

A great mornings birding at Snettisham watching thousands of waders wheeling away over the Wash and settling onto islands around the reserve. Has to be seen (and heard) to be believed. The best sight we had was watching a flock of about 80 Curlew flying back onto the Wash as the tide ebbed. They took us by surprise flying in silently over our heads.
Later in the afternoon we were accompanied along the cliffs at Hunstanton by a Peregrine.

Just back from a day at Leighton Moss. Very wet underfoot, in fact most of the paths were under a few inches of water.
We saw a mole in the lower branches of a large tree. Assume it’s underground tunnels must have been flooded, hope it survives the night.
I’ve never seen anything like this before, took a photo with my phone, but it’s pretty poor when downsized.
