Cley and around

Had to collect Sam from West Runton, so popped in with Tom to nearby Hungry Hill to see the apparent Italian Sparrow, though more likely a hybrid Tree/House Sparrow.

Then after watching the football with at Holt, three of us (Sam, Tom, and I) went to Cley. Very quiet, so we did some sea watching were Tom did well to pick up a very distant Pomeraine Skua. I followed it were it went after a Sandwich Tern and was joined by an Arctic Skua. The scrape held a distant Curlew Sandpiper. A Grey Seal was close inshore.

After collecting Michelle from shopping at Holt, we went on a walk around Holkham, where this Common Toad was seen.
