A bit of a round-up!

19/11/05 Titchwell RSPB Leaders: Simeon, James, Matt.
We took the oportunity of a quick hour and a quarter stop-off at Titchwell. We got there and went straight to the beach after hearing of six Red-Throated Divers, Several Slavonian Grebes and quite a few Velvet Scoter on the sea. I managed to pick up a Red-Throated after just five minutes, closely followed by Matt spotting a few Velvets with the Common Scoter rafts. After that, I spotted three Red-Breasted Mergansers (one female and two males) fairly close in and James spotted a Slavonian Grebe and two more Mergansers.
On the marshes were, 19 Common Snipe (no sign of the Jack Snipe that was there that day), 3 Little Egrets and 4 Little Grebes.
Overall we saw 54 species! Not bad for just an hour and a quarter!
