First Migrants (Part 2)

27/3/06 Heacham North Beach Leaders: Simeon and Connor
We decided to pop down to Heacham North Beach for about an hour. We saw; 50+ Pied Wagtails, 1 Yellow Wagtail (West), 1 Whimbrel (West) and a White wagtail with the Pied Wagtails. We were hoping to see the Black Redstart that had over wintered in the chalet gardens. After eventually getting good views of it we walked down the track a little way when a male Wheatear flew past. After getting decent views of it we made tracks.

We returned in an hour to get brilliant views of the Black Redstart while it perched on a fence post for about three minutes before flying back under the caravan. We managed to pick up another Wheatear and saw both together, making it two males as the final count!
