Cley & Salthouse, Norfolk - October 21, 2012


This morning I walked along the east bank at Cley and called in the centre at Cley before walking down the beach at Salthouse late in the afternoon.

There were a few waders on Arnold’s Marsh that included four Oystercatcher, five Grey Plover, twenty-four Dunlin, eighty-five Black-tailed Godwit, circa fifty Redshank and a single Turnstone.  Two Marsh Harriers were observed between the east bank and Salthouse and a Cetti’s Warbler was heard from the bank with a second below Walsey Hills.  There was a clear movement of Starlings heading west and I must have seen close to 2000.

At Cley in the afternoon the highlights were four Avocets and a Yellow-legged Gull on Pat’s Pool.
The walk to the beach at Salthouse produced further excellent views of two Red-throated Divers and the seventeen Turnstone were still in the car park area.
