Seawatching produces the star birds.

Titchwell and Snettisham Leaders:Simeon, James and Matthew 17/9/05
James and I went round Matts house for Friday/Saturday. We woke up in the tent to the sound of aproximately 400 pink-foots flying over. (A nice start to the day!) We went up to Titchwell in the early hours of the afternoon. After seeing one of the Temmink's stints and getting a few record shots of the two Curlew Sands we wandered up to the beach to do a spot of Seawatching.
Nothing much went past until the end, when I spotted two skuas mobbing a gull. They were identified as one Great and one Pomarine. I was pleased because the Pomarine was a lifer for all of us. One surprise was followed by another as James spotted two Red-Throated Divers. Also on the sea was a large raft of scoters (aprox. 350) consisting of Common with a couple of Velvet, a raft of about 20 Eiders, two Pale Bellied Brent geese on the beach, two Red Breasted Mergansers and a few Sandwich Terns. Also on the marshes were Little Egret, (4) Common Sandpiper, (1) Spotted Redshank, (1) Common Snipe (2) and a Grey Heron.
After that we went to Snettisham for the high tide, where we saw a little grebe , the resident female Scaup, a Fulmar on the shore, several Wigeon and Pochard, 4 Greenshanks, 2 Common Terns, a female Whetear and a large group os Knot with an individual summer plumage on the pits. Overall it was a pretty good day with one lifer and a couple of yearers.
