Around the coast

Holkam, Titcwell and Stiffkey Leaders:Simeon, Matthew and James
We started the day off at Holkam. Unfortunately the Firecrest had not been seen that morning and the Snow Goose was seen to fly south with Pinkfeet at 7:15 am. We arrived at 10:30 and there was basically nothing there! Then we heard of a Red - Backed Shrike at Stiifkey and rushed off to get it. It gave superb views perching on a bush at about 4 metres distance. At one stage it flew and landed on the bank we were standing on about a metre away from us. We got some ace shots of it (see gallery). We then finished the outing with a couple of hours at Titchwell. The sea was the highlight providing 300+ Common Scoter, 2 Arctic Skuas and a Shearwater sp. There was little else of note, but it had been a pretty good day.
