First Migrants (Part 3)

28/3/06 Holme NOA, Redwell Marsh NOA and Holme Golf Course leaders: Simeon, Connor

A trip to Holme concluded Simeon and my (Connor) first look for migrants around north-west Norfolk. Redwell Marsh provided 14 Sand Martins, a Swallow, two Chiffchaffs, a Redpoll, 4 Snipe and a Woodcock while a walk in the Holme NWT Dunes saw a Black Redstart, 2 Chiffchaffs, Rock Pipit, 2 Little Egrets and a Swallow. Other birds of note seen during the day included 9 Wheatears, 3 Chiffchaffs and a Goldcrest at Holme Golf Course as well as a Siskin at Holme NOA. It was a nice way to finish a couple of days birding and roll on the rest of spring migration; who knows what it will bring?
