Hot Winter Birding!

Good selection of birds in Norfolk today including:

Great White Egret flew over Belton Marshes, Rough-legged Buzzard at Holme NWT and also at Chedgrave Marshes and Holkham, Snowbuntings at Cley, Titchwell and Caister, Shorelark, Tundra Bean Goose and Lapland Buntings at Holkham, Coues's Arctic Redpoll remains at Titchwell (note a french birdwatcher on Saturday confimed that it is pronounced 'Coos') and also the Western Sandpiper is still at Cley. Great Grey Shrike still at Fakenham, Waxwings in Norwich, Lesser White-fronted Goose at Buckenham. Most notable being Whinchat on Friday between Heacham and Sedgeford!! Even more notable - apparently a Willow Warbler seen at Holkham by a few people now - a county first for this time of the year, surely!!! See here and here
