This was a family holiday in
Norfolk and we were staying in a cottage at Salthouse, which gave me the
opportunity to get out early in the morning.
This morning I walked along
the beach road to the beach, although it was quite quiet there was a reasonable
selection of birds.
There were several skeins of
Pink-footed Geese went over, probably totalling about 1000 and six Pintail were
observed over the sea. At least four
Red-throated Divers were observed with two coming very close in shore and there
were several Gannets and a single Guillemot off shore and a single Kittiwake
flew east. There were at least five
Little Egrets feeding in the dykes and seventeen Turnstone were in the car
park. A Cetti’s Warbler called on
several occasions as I was almost back at the cottage but I was unable to
locate it.
During the evening visit there
was another 200 Pink-footed Geese went over and two Egyptian Geese were on the
pool to the left of the beach road. I
also had three Marsh Harriers and a single Sparrowhawk.
