With news of Yellow-browed Warblers turning up in Norfolk I decided to try and find my own after work. With the light disappearing fast each evening now, I really have to stay local, so Snettisham Coastal Park is my nearest place to search, when there are migrants around.
It was misty and dull when I arrived in the carpark. I heard a robin, a chiffchaff calling and approximately three different Cetti's Warblers and that was it! Unbelievably dead!!! I drove home very disappointed. The lull before the storm maybe?
I have been informed that each day will get better towards the weekend, with Sunday/Monday bringing the goodies. I'm working all day on Sunday, but have Monday and Tuesday booked off!!! So hopefully when I booked those two days a year ago, I might, just might have struck lucky!

Hi Penny, I'm thinking you must be clairvoyant knowing that next Monday and Tuesday are going to be GREAT from a year ago.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what the lottery numbers are for Saturday by any chance!!
There were up to 10 Yb Warblers on the Isle of May yesterday and 3-4 at Fife Ness, so with extra cover over the next few days we will hopefully find a few other goodies.
Love the blog as always Penny!!
Keep in touch

Hi Malcolm!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am lucky, sometimes not. My luckiest week was the 11th of October 2010 when I had Pallas's Warblers, Yellow-browed Warblers, Olive Backed Pipit, Redstarts, Black Redstarts, Bramblings etc etc!
Thank you for you kind comments. Hope you see some good birds!
