A sunny day at Cley!

Coastguards

Stopped here briefly and saw Little Terns and Gannets.

North Scrape

12 Spoonbills, 3 Little ringed Plovers, 1 Whimbrel, a massive count of 178 Dunlin! Little Egret, 22 Cormorants, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 1 Common Sandpiper and 1 juv. Yellow Wagtail.

East Bank

With John F., Eddie M., and Andy J. Half way along the bank we heard news of both a Cory's Shearwater and Storm Petrol seen going west from Sheringham!!! We marched quickly to the shingle bank and sat/stood here for ages, but neither sadly were seen. A tired kittiwake was resting on the shingle a few yards west of the end of the East Bank (see pic). On the way back, along the path between Bishop's Hide and the Visitor Centre we saw a 'Wall Butterfly' (see pic).

A wonderful lunch was enjoyed at the Wiveton Farm Cafe. I can't believe I havn't been here before - a beautiful setting with views of the sea beyond and a first class service. See the website here: http://www.wivetonhall.co.uk/cafe.htm

Kelling Water Meadows

Very little was seen here, but a lovely sunny walk. Also heard news that the bottom path at Walsey Hills NOA has at last been cut by the council - don't know if the NOA have cut the centre path yet though.
