Good Sea-watching!

Titchwell RSPB 20/12/05 Leaders: Connor
An hour at the RSPB reserve of Titchwell RSPB. On entry and departure the very tame Robins were hand-fed, sometimes sitting on my hand for up to a minute at a time! Birds seen included two Black Brants with Brent Geese on the freshmarsh and two Spotted Redshanks on the

saltmarsh.

The sea was alive with birds. The Common Scoter flock held a massive 38 Velvet Scoters, a personel record. There were good numbers of Goldeneye and Red Breasted Merganser with 18 of the former and twelve of the latter. Add to all this 4 Guillemots, a single Great Crested Grebe, one Red Throated Diver, a pair of Long Tailed Ducks and three absolutely super Slavonian Grebes, it was great.
