Minsmere

A few hours from lunchtime until about an hour before dusk on my own whilst visiting my parents:

Marsh Harrier x 4
Pink-footed Goose
Brent Goose x 2 over the sea
Little Egret x 4
Goldcrest – probably a migrant in the sluice bushes
Fieldfare – best sighting of the day. In-off the sea whilst I was sea-watching and landed right by me. A Greater Black-backed Gull then briefly attacked it and but being so close to me soon gave up and after a few minutes rest the Fieldfare headed into cover.
Snow Bunting x 8
Bearded Tit x 3 (heard)
Cetti’s Warbler x 3 (heard)
