Rarities! Everywhere! EXCEPT HOLME!

16/9/06 Holme NOA Leaders: James, Simeon and Connor
We got up at 5:00 to get to Holme and at first it looked good with i fall of Dunnocks and Robins overnight. Then we got Redstart, Willow Warbler Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher, Yellow Wagtail and ringed two Garden Warblers, Robin, Chaffinch, Pied Flycatcher and Whitethroat. It was going pretty well until we got news of four Red - Breasted Flycatchers, four Wrynecks, a Yellow - Browed Warbler, Great - Grey Shrike and Red - Backed Shrike all in Norfolk that day. We were watching a Spotted Flycatcher and someone told us of a Yellow - Browed Warbler in the dunes at Holme. We stretched our time to try and find it, but no-one else had seen it. Oh well! We then found out that we had missed a Wryneck that had been ringed at Snettisham Coastal Park! We had missed a lot, but we had seen quite a few common migrants as well!
