Not bad...

2/4/07 Blakeney Point, Titchwell RSPB and Snettisham RSPB Leaders; Simeon, James and Matt.
We met up with Matt at Knights Hill roundabout and headed on to Blakeney. On arrival just before 9:00 we got at least 7 Shore Larks on the shingle. A Sandwich Tern flew over us at Halfway House followed by another 2 and a Stonechat. Stuff was definitely moving! The next good bird came at the visitor centre itself when a Hobby flew over terrorising pipits! Another early migrant. A Scandanavian Rock Pipit and a migrant Goldcrest were also nearby along with 2 Fieldfare, a male Wheatear and 3 Redwing around the plantation! The walk back only provided a Swallow which only James and Matt saw! A Red-Throated Diver flew past on the sea. After that we headed to Titchwell but couldn't find anything, not even a Med Gull a Little Gull or a Brambling! Instead of going for the Serin at Heacham, we went to Snettisham RSPB, but missed the Red-Breasted Geese! Nothing was of note there either except for the resident Scaup! All in all it was an ok day apart from dipping loads of stuff!
