Cley, Kelling and Lesser Grey Shrike again!

Beautiful sunny day.

Pager message indicated the Lesser Grey Shrike had relocated to just north west of The Dun Cow Pub at Salthouse! On arrival there were a few birders standing by the roadside, but no one had relocated it. I parked by the Iron Road and searched Sawbury Hill opposite - flock of long tailed tits, one garden warbler. Walked along the footpath to The Dun Cow and back along the road.

Walsey Hills - quite lively with birds here, two lesser whitethroats, chiffchaffs, bullfinches, great and blue tits and LBJ's. No sign of any Adders and Lizards.

Cley Visitor centre for lunch followed by a Goosberry Ice-cream (still no Stem Ginger flavour I noted). Incredibly busy with people here. Managed to get a table outside.

Lesser Grey Shrike had returned to Kelling. Drove to Kelling and walked along the track to the far end and there it was sitting on a short post in the middle of the marsh, west of the end of the track - it didn't move from this post except to catch a wasp or bee! Way too far out for a 300mm lens/+converter, athough took a record shot which was a dot in my picture! The few birders/photographers that were there all behaved themselves.

Went into the bookshop of Kelling and bought 3 very interesting bird books, 'Birds of the Norfolk Broads', Jarrold publication with a photo of my father's in and 2 copies of my father's first book 'Bird Watching - Nesting Birds along the Coast' Jarrolds again.

Back to Cley - browsed in the Cley bookshop.

Drove along the coast road which was the longest journey along there I have ever made - the traffic was awful! Eventually arrived at my parents to deliver some shopping.

Birdfair tomorrow and my 'Wildlife Walk and Lunch with Simon King!!!!!!!!!! Its going to be a very wet 'Wildlife Walk' I think!!!
